Simply put I was doing some tests.
Weight in tow: 1786tons
It took 2 SW8s and 4 SW1500's to get started and climb from Walong to Tehachapi.
Max speed 20mph, all locos on Notch 8, all load meters pinned (which means they should have overheated, but that's not modeled)
Question is, does that sound right?
Below you can see how the power was arranged. "Army" are SW8s, Conrail are "MDS" SW1500s
