For Randy: <br /> <br /> Define "High Horsepower"... EMD's GP-60's and GE's Dash-8-40B's, were advertising 4000 horsepower. Were these engines types, the fore runner of the exceeded draft problem? So, you are saying that number of engines lashed together is limited by their combined horspower, rather than simply the number of engines physically connected to each other? Taking it one step further, I gather that a railroad may, even today, if they have enough low horsepower units available, can still put together a 12-13 engine lashup at the head of a train and there would not be any rule infractions with that many power units mu'd together?
