@bradstrains Yeah, all they need is a bit of a push. How did he get the camera to do that, though? I have Fraps and have only uploaded one 30 second segment of of Trainz. Pure speed and a Gresly A3 would smoke the DDA40X most likely.
@Fireheart528 Were you saying its more powerful in HP? That statement is true. But in ability to pull a very heavy train an AC6000,AC4400,Dash 9, SD70ACe/M-2, or SD90/43/80MAC is better for the job. I still love steam engines though. If they can start the train they can pull it to higher speed than a diesel.
@gatoterry Not true look it up an ES44 has more starting tractive effort than a big boy. They could out pull it not in speed but if you put them coupler to coupler and had a tug of war the ES44 would out pull it. If the couplers wouldn't snap it could pull it back.
@googooman12 Do some research before you say that an AC6000 has 65,000 lbs more starting tractive effort than a big boy and they only have 1 prime mover they'll out pull a big boy.
@Justin5637 An AC6000 have 65000 lbs more starting tractive effort than a big boy even though big boys are far heavier and the AC6000 has 1 prime mover.

@bradstrains Yeah, I know. That comment is 8 months old, I learned more in that time about trains than I could put in this comment.
