How do I aplly to get compensation from TFL, canceled trains, etc.?
I live in Canyon, TX on the BNSF's mainline from Chicago to LA, called the transcon. In New Mexico, around Belen, Mountainair, and Largo, the grades are around 2.4% so trains with 2 4400 hp locomotives cant pull a 8000' plus train over this grade. So about 60 miles west of where I live there is a small siding that Westbounds that need help can pickup extra locomotives, and it is where eastbounds coming from the pass drop off the locomotives to help the westbounds.What transport is there from Salzburg airport to Zell Am See?

What is the actual purpose of the severn valley railway?
Generally when a locomotive is by itself on the tracks, either a siding or industrial track, it is either broken down or a helper unit. I remember, from years of railfan experience, that sometimes, depending on the grade, they used helper units for getting up hills, mtns, etc. They would attatch them to the end of the train when going up the grade and disconnect them when they are down the grade, thus the helpers go back to their proper tracks and wait for the next train that comes along.More Questions & Answers ...
