I accept the correction. I was considering your words "little more than 3/4 of a miles of 4% down to [MP] 341" which would involve the two 16* lazy S curves. Does that mean you are saying the hump on the tangent is steeper than 4%? Would it benefit from some grade rising to ease it out, but then there is always the grade higher up the mountain?
The over looked question is the cost benefit and need of rail washer to lubricate the rails for the trailing train. Would that make the trip better and even save fuel?
