<P mce_keep="true">Dear Paul,</P> <P mce_keep="true">with big interest read your calcs. We also have to consider some variable factors (cold weather, slippery rails occured, non so feasible conditions). They also used 3 different throttle/cut-off settings during the tests, the lightest train at 3500tons showing better fuel consumption results. This fits nicely to the originally task of taking a 3600tons train unassisted to Wasatch and not to overload steam-locomotives.</P> <P mce_keep="true">We only may ask, what did they had in their mind to set the ratings at Wasatch up to 4450tons later? Any plausible explanation? </P> <P mce_keep="true">Cheers</P> <P mce_keep="true">lars </P> <P mce_keep="true"> </P> <P mce_keep="true"> </P>
