Well, <br /> This is a deep subject, and one that's fun to talk about. However, as you can clearly see, the answer to your question is no. What your question askes is to compare apples and oranges. The different mecanical dynamics and even chemical variations in fuels can effect performance in each type of locomotive. <br /> What are you actually trying to find out? How much tonnage can each pull? How fast they can pull a given load? How quickly can they accelerate a given load to a certain speed? What are their ablities to maintain a given velocity? Etc..... <br /> <br />
