For those wondering where the idea for LocoPage came from, it followed a discussion on the aus.rail newsgroup in May 1997. My aim is to make LocoPage the most comprehensive Web site on Australian diesel and electric locomotives. The total number of locomotives in the class, and the number currently in service. This is intended to be the length over couplers . The first figure is the starting tractive effort, the second continuous.
Tractive effort is inversely proportional to the speed.
I would be appreciative of any such information that could be passed on. If there is a big difference, could you please let me know. Again, there can be a gap between when a loco runs its last service, and is officially removed from the register. As above, I welcome corrections of any big gaps.
