Union Pacific 9000-series *8200 tons* drag challenge! (Trainz)

One of my favorite freight steam locomotives, the Union Pacific 9000-series 4-12-2, was proudly presented by ALCo (The American Locomotive Company) in the late-1920s. TE was 97,664 lbf, a bit higher than the PRR J1's 95,100 lbf (without booster engine) which was built about 12 years later than the UP 9000.

In Trainz, the UP 9000 can handle an 8100 tons coal train alone without encounter any problem and maintain a 9-15 mph speed. But the PRR Class J1 needs two to maintain acceptable speed. There must be some minor mistake in either engine's config file. But just as any simulator, they all have limits. The UP 9000 is a very well made freeware from Trainz download station, PRR J1 is a product of K&L Trainz.

There are 16200 tons of coal delivered to you for free, so I hope you enjoy your BBQ tonight!
