Re: What is the Steepest Grade in the Subway System?

So, with the same steel wheel/steel rail limiting condition, shouldn’t a subway train be able to handle the same grade? With many more axles it should (in theory) have a substantial advantage, since if one axle is on a wet or contaminated spot there are dozens of others with traction.
