Fill the locomotives up before departure and after arrival, then divide total train tonnage by fuel consumption. If trains are pulled by one locomotive or "pure" locomotive consists, results are fairly easy to analyze (do it several times for reliable results). Otherwise, you would have to make some assumptions or use a lot of statistics. <br />Anyway, don't mix results from different routes and or services. Fuel consumption depends largely on geography and operational speeds, so get as many indicators of this kind as you can.
