If you worked the Chicago Chief Job at Cicero you had to keep an eye on the
train out of the north and figure the tonnage on the diesels to see if you had
enough power to make the C&I. This would determine IF the train went regular or
Around the Horn. Some where I should have a more modern sheet. To day the
computer uses HPT
Horsepower per ton

Subject: [BRHSlist] Tonnage Rating Sheets
We now have tonnage ratings sheets for Chgo and Aurora div for years
1929,1930,1932 and 1934. Pretty interesting stuff. Seems the train crews were
insisting on compliance w/the agreement to furnish same as they felt trains
were being double headed to avoid splitting them and using 2 train crews.
