<p> </p> <p>Thank you for reply T.,</p> <p>[quote user="timz"]</p> <p>-- i.e. an average of 2.2% for any one mile. So if there were, say, a half-mile of 2.7% then the half-mile just above it and the half-mile just below it were not supposed to exceed 1.7%.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>OK., a 1500t train may occupy a half mile...</p> <p>[quote user="timz"]</p> <p>-- if a 10-degree curve happens to be on a stretch of 2.3%, that's ordinarily considered to be around 2.7% compensated for curvature.</p> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Are there (Sand P.) actually 10degrees curves? This sounds sharp.</p> <p>-lars</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
