Re: Clarification - (Railroad gradients)



John W.

Presume the maximum theoretical gradient for all axles motored was 24.75%
and not as written (243/4%) which is 1:4 to the rest of us. (yep, I'm down
under, too!)

The maximum grades for trams/trolleys/streetcars quoted 15% equates to
1:6.67 which sounds a little like the grades suggested for Lisbon.
