Hi Kev,
There is some concern in another thread that I cannot respond to, that V4.5 GP38s don't pull well enough. I only posted this to demonstrate on a prototypical route, 4 slightly heavy (259,000 lbs) GP38-2s can get 55 loaded coal cars worth 7,000 US tons up Crawford Hill with a single heavy SD40-2 pusher. My MKT SD40-2s are 412,500 pounds, heavier than most of my Sd40-2s (MKT units were that heavy).
