You might try posting this over on the Trains Magazine forum. It has a lot more activity, and a wide range of knowledgable railfans.

Trains in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan

Posted by MontRailLink on Tuesday, February 26, 2008 12:33 PM

Anyone know what types/HP of engines are used in the railroads of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan? Also, any idea of the controlling grades going from these countries towards Pakistan & Afghanistan? I'm a model railroader and am being asked how many tank cars a typical Uzbekistan/Turkmenistan locomotive can be expected to pull in this situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
