Effective horse power to the pavement on a Detroit 470 using a Freightliner FLD120 cab with a Eaton 10 is about 225 or so at 60 mph by dyno. This was what is availible if the throttle should be increased. There is ALOT consumed by everyting associated with loads on the driveline, transmission, air compressor, air conditioning, watper pump etc etc etc. <br /> <br />Railroads dont seem to suffer much in the way of parasitic loads. Those locomotives when they are idling in my town they seem capable of running the town's power grid. But I am not a electrician and am not qualified to say anything about locomotive motive power and the loads it may be under during runs.
