AC traction allows greater wheel slip control. The engine can adjust its power to each axle in milliseconds vs. seconds with DC. That allows an AC locomotive to be loaded down to the point where the wheels are just slipping. An AC set will pull more up a hill than a DC set will with the same horespower. For example 3 C44AC's will pull more up a hill than 3 C44-9's even though both have virtually the same diesel engine in them and weigh roughly the same. <br /> <br />Smith
