Sorry I should have asked the question slightly differantly.
What I meant was is the combined load of say NR + 81 the sum of the super 
series load , ie between say Albury and Junee can we handle 1750 + 1650 tonnes 
for NR + 81 combination , 3400 tonnes total,or is the 81 counted with its load 
for non SS loco , ie 1100 tonnes?
Maybe this issue never arises?

Another interesting aside is the loads for 82s seem to be the same as for 81s 
even though the 82s are fitted with the much larger D87EBTR series motors , 
same as the 90s and the Westrail Qs
Continuous tractive effort is quoted at 413 kn which is higher than an NR (388 
kn).
When NR were using the 82s was this in any way obvious?

Thanks
