The GP-15 and SW1500 weren't nessecarily built with tractive effort first in mind. I'd be willing to bid on the heavier SD-38 mated only with a six axle slug to be more succesfull at starting a heavy train like this.

Hmm, doesn't look like it's getting very good traction on the rail.

Can't they try shoving back and bunching it, and the pick it up gradually?
