in which F(v) = drag-<strong>for</strong>ce of locomotive, in pounds<br />

F(v) = drag-<strong>for</strong>ce of freight car, in pounds<br />

w L = gross weight of locomotive, in tons<br />

number of axles of freight car<br />

v = velocity of locomotive or car, in miles per hour.<br />

The above <strong>for</strong>mulas give resistance of only one locomotive and<br />

one freight car. Total train resistance is the sum of the locomotive<br />

resistance and the resistances of all the freight cars, or<br />
