They're not that fat there, are they? Date: 10/22/16 16:04 Re: Tonnage Author: portlander The max we run over Donner is 10,500. That's with a 3x3 set up. If extra power is deadheading on the train, trailing tonnage will be reduced to compensate for the TPA (Tons per Powered Axles).

------------------------------------------------------- > That's the eastward maximum? Correct. We could actually run heavier by adding a DPU or two to the rear or running as a 3x4 as well. At this time, along with a (self imposed) 6500' limit between front and rear dpu's, it wouldn't be a viable plan. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 10/22/16 17:38 by portlander.
