Fred Goff General Nice shot Joe. How did the engines handle that train ? 5/27/2014 9:18:53 PM
Joe Marascalco General Well it was plenty of power to keep it at its 50 MPH speed limit, but if I have over about 90 cars with a loaded coal, I would prefer to have distributed power, it handles better with DP and you can get faster brake applications and releases 5/27/2014 11:05:34 PM
