Bill,

Hi. How are you going?

One would assume that the City structures are grossly overdesigned , like
the Harbour Bridge, to accept really heavy electric locos, designed to haul
say 300 ton loads up the 1 in 30 grades onto the Bridge, say 3 tonnes per
metre or more, far more than freight vehicles.
