 [quote] If Jay Potter is following this thread, he may be able to chime in. Jay has a way of "extracting" CSX inside information. LOL Here is a teaser about how much power at speed the big GE ACs have. Granted, these are only the 44s, but you can see a pair of them have no trouble pulling 130 loaded coal cars at 50 mph. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOYeLGlzHxE" mce_href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOYeLGlzHxE">www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOYeLGlzHxE</a>[/quote] Sir, I hope Mr. Potter can join us, as a knowing and informative person he is indeed.As I read, CSX is consequently not only shifting freight, as well as a lot of bits and bytes while improving their steering-software. As I told, my data may be outdated, and , if I am not completely out of whack, 33.000lbf of pulling force in the high 60ties for an AC6000. The best I can say for BB is 25.000 to 30000lbf @70mph.Thanx for the link! Kind Regardslars -edit-A single GE AC4400 is probably capable enough, to take 4000tons of load with the speed of a Big Boy up to Wasatch, replacing them one by one. With an AC6000, you may take 300,400, 500tons more.
