OK your right. Here is the Dak content...
Average HPT (Horsepower Per Ton) for a Dakota is about.. 115HPT and a for a
fright train is 2.5HPT. With numbers like that, 1/4 mile time is timed by
minuets not seconds. Take this into amount, trains braking power is measured
by dividing the total weight of the train, divided by number of brakes.
These trains take a mile or more to stop have anywhere from 35 tons to well
over 120 tons per brake. Compared to the Dak about 1/2 ton per brake.
OK is this a happy midway between Dak stuff and other stuff? Hehe
