I am wonering some of the examples of the HP/tonnage ratios? ? ? I quite frequently see what I think are underpowered trains around this mountain grade. Pairs of SD40-2 helpers/pushers will help the train up and down, but it is still a sight to see, there will be a loaded freight train with 2 D9-40CWs leading and a pair of helpers pushing, and they are not going more than 10 mph. Then I will see an intermodal with sometimes 4+ units, of which only about 2 or 3 are operating. Maybe it is just the way NS runs things here, I don't know. I could use some of the HP/Tonnage ratios to help my understanding of this. Thanks..
