The problem is probably more complex than we think. Its sounds easy to just add an additional loco or two to make sure the train gets up the hill. But the problem comes when those two additional locos have to come from another train. Then that train will be delayed, and so on and so on. <br />Railroads make their money by trying to keep everything running all of the time. It would be great to have a few locos on standby in the yard, but at 1-2million dollars apiece, that starts to add up quickly. <br />This is why railroads are so screwed up right now. They like to do just enough to make everything work. One little problem like this, and it all goes to hell. And this is not just this particular RR either. All of them do this to some degree or another.
