Tonnage reduction with temperature falling

[NW Mailing List]

Jimmy,

 

“Trains with Head End Brake Pipe Supply Only”.  What trains on the NW would NOT meet this criteria in the 1973 timeframe (i.e. what trains would fall outside these special instructions)?

I was under the impression that the reason the tonnage went down with temperature was thermodynamics of water evaporation to get the needed pressures of steam. The point about oil and grease viscosity makes good sense as well.

Not so, Mike. The following chart is from Shenandoah Div. ETT #5 effective Sunday, May 20, 1973.
