The basics of what you are saying are correct. However, to nitpick a little, 
locomotive throttle notches 1-8  are not linear. For instance on a 3000Hp SD40 
notch number 4 only produces 1085Hp, about 1/3rd the max 3000 Hp not 1/2.
Even notch 5 does not get you quite 50%.
3000 Hp GP40/SD40 notch vs Hp output.
1=200hp=6.6%
2=390hp=13%
3=710hp=24%
4=1085hp=36%
5=1420hp=47%
6=1830hp=61%
7=2375hp=80%
8=3000hp=100%
Other models/makes are similar.
