Many variables here, Ingemar, Was the train going up a hill? Traveling in a congested area or an area where track condition is poor where the speed is limited? Were two of the 6 engines freewheeling (going along for the ride just to get somewhere else)? Blair >>> [log in to unmask] 02/09/05 09:46AM >>> Fine! I just have to get into the discussion another way. We have some train enthusiasts here (build models). One day there was a great discussion that was heard a long distance. How many diesel engines can be used in a Detroit car train? One said maximum two. Another four. On top of that, one guy said he had personally seen 6 engines pulling a one kilometer long train that moved not faster than you jog. Who was right?
