Passenger Trains > Specs for Acela Train SetsDate: 04/03/03 09:54 Specs for Acela Train Sets Author: charlie Does anyone know a good source for the Acela train set specs for weight, power, tractive effort, adhesion ? From what I can tell, the dual cab locomotive consists of the two end units, with 5 cars in the middle, having a tractive effort of 49,000 per end unit (wit the power car designation going to the trailing one). Total HP is 8,800 (4,400 per end unit). Weight was stated as 200,000 lbs per end unit, putting adhesion at 25%. Total train weight ??
