Besides that, how many watts does it take to just move a train, not accelerate it to service speed?Lemmee guess: Cut the HVAC, and 400hp at the motors could move a train at a brisk walk on level track, eventually getting to a brisk run (15mph). It's enough to get forward/back to the nearest station. I'll take a guess that you could get moving in that config with half a megawatt at the substation, 300K watts at the motors. Your car can develop that much powah, if it's got a Hemi. Nope, not buying the "train ran out of money" line. |
