48 Class
Why hasn't Freightcorp replaced the 48 Class
which was first introduced in 1959? If Freightcorp was to replace the 48
Class what would be the maximum allowable axle load? The 48 Class has 12 -
13 tonne axle load but presumablely its replacement could have a higher axle
load. What configuration of locomotive would they seek (ie single ended,
double ended, hood, carbody etc)? What would be the power achievable for
this configuration and axle load? Any takers!
