Re: [CBQ] Diesel operation

Ken, do you have the operating data sheets book?
I believe there's a section in there that talks about how many motors of different kinds were needed for different tonnages on different subdivisions of the Q.  If you don't have it and can tell me where on the system you're most interested in, I could look something up for you.

I admit I am not the most knowledgable about diesel operation on mainline trains. In mainline usage how many "motors" were typically used on a train? What got me thinking is I recently got two of the U25c's. Now recently they have been bringing in engines with two different numbers. So on a typical train are two engines enough, would one do or do you need to mix in other engines?

Tonight I am planning on using the two U25c's to pull a long coal train (33 cars) at the club and plan to use the two new engines.
