<p>Hey dd,</p><p>Good ol' GP9! It is interesting how much tonnage the grade eats up. Thank you.</p><p>This makes sense and me thinking of following: </p><p> 3x GP9 with 138000lbs TE could produce 5250HP and pull 4650t.</p><p> UP needed around 3-4 GP7, GP9, F3 or E3-7whatever to equal 1 BB there. </p><p>Could BB bring up a train as fast as a modern unit there? </p><p>It took 4h to run the 70miles, including one stop.</p><p>What about "modern" schedules?</p><p>Lars</p>
