That depends on how many are empty and how flat the terrain is. I have seen one SD40-2 pulling a train of about 100 cars a couple of times.

Lotus, must you be so hard to reach? I have an idea for a couple of quiz questions that you could take, amend or leave at your will. (It doesn't matter if you acknowledge me or not.) But if you don't post an e-mail or some type of contact, the only means I have of reaching you is like this, which would tend to sour a multiple-choice quiz question.

I have thought the same thing. Is it possible for you ( Lotus) to e-mail me, and I can reply? I kind of understand why, you don't have an e-mail contact though![:O]
