It is customary to limit throttle possition or ampereage in time table special instructions on the ruling grade if there are other reasons to use more than the max # of units for that grade. I would give you the formula but then the railroad officials mite see it & learn something they should have known all the time.. <br /> <br />THE HOGGER <br /> <br />PS: Never had to worry about that on CSX, they only allow enough power to move the train vveerryy sslloowwllyy... <br />
