Why does this engine seem so under-powered?

Even a pair of them pulling only 22 freight cars and one caboose on level track seem to take forever to brake and accelerate.

Is there something in Trainz scripting that limits an engine's power?

I actually did a test-run with a pair of these to do road switching work.
 
Probably no engine spec. Try this [FONT=&quot]<KUID2:506034:837844:1> [/FONT]EMD GP9 enginespec without dynamic brake
cheers
 
That Engine spec was all that was available as a gp 9 at the time I redid this I agree with the above as it is a much better engine spec. Some of the older diesel engine specs dud not have two line of information under their motor section:

throttle-notches 8
Full-throttle-speed (this number shoild be set to same as max-speed)
