[quote]QUOTE: railroads load power closer to its maximum tonnage ratings today than was ever done in the past[/quote] I disagree. CGW used their F units <b>very</b> hard. Often it would take several tries of backing the slack out of the train and rushing forward to get it started. Then they'd be in notch 8, just jumping up and down on the rail and the train wouldn't be moving. In one instance, they somehow backed a train out of the yard when they couldn't get it started and they had managed to get it going out there but when it came through the 2 mile long yard it was still going slow and I'm sure they had to be in notch 8.
