Question to freight train operations:
Are current diesel electric locomotives DC or AC
What is the weight of the locomotive and how many driving wheels
I noticed sometime ago that there is a plate attached to the locomotive that states that the locomotive is owned by City Bank or another financial entity. Is this still true?
How many freight cars can one locomotive pull under average loads.
Is this correct that a locomotive can only pull 30,000 tons from a standing start and the rest is by a series of jerks taking up the slack between the coupling
What is the percent of grade that the train can ascend with the traction currently in use
Is there two engineers in the cab on current trains
