Hauling Power Math

The document provides information about the hauling power calculation for a train with 5 pairs of driving wheels weighing 18 tonnes each. It lists the coefficients of friction, speed, gradient and other parameters. The calculation finds the total resistance due to factors like friction, wind, waves, gradient and curves. It then sets the hauling power equal to the total resistance and solves to find the maximum weight the train can haul and the reduction in speed at different gradients and curves.
