<p>What an interesting discussion. Although I spent most of my working life as an accountant, I have a reasonably strong math background, and I can follow the calculations. Two questions:</p> <p>Who makes the decision regarding how much power to assign to a train?</p> <p>Would I be correct in assuming that the initial pass as to the amount of required power is spit out by a computer, which is reviewed by the person(s) responsible to assigning the power, and adjusted as necessary? </p>
