John:

It is great to see you posting again, I really enjoy the information you provide as it brings the operations to life.

On this Eastbound train Duango to Chama I did some calculations based on TT tonnage ratings and talk about being on the "numbers" here is what I came up with.

C-16 # 208 rated for 210 tons
K-27 # 460 rated for 460 tons
Adjustment factor 87 tons (28 cars + caboose @ + 3 tons each)
Total 757 tons
Actual tonnage 759 tons
Difference 2 tons
