Aug-15-01, 00:41 AM (EST) "Tentative Marias Pass Tonnage Ratings" Hi all,Been trying to come up with some basic tonnage ratings for some of the locos out there and for Whitefish to Shelby I came up with a redicuously low tonnage rating for the SD-90MAC (with latest updates) to peak the summit with out stalling. Note this was with sand and at times creeping along. I think this absolutely retarded as I believe the UP rates the '90MAC-Hs (can't recall the route but the rulling grade was around 1.8% IIRC) at nearly 3200tons, so the grades in MSTS must be horribly off.I'll post more info as I play around with it.Brad Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
