I wonder who else has used this profile and to what degree(s) of success.

Also, I wonder about the spec to machine the main driver ever so slightly oversize.

EMD high adhesion technology from the '90's claimed to maximize TE by allowing the wheels to slip ever so slightly. That made for a strange ride on their SD70MACs.

It'd be interesting to know if that's what Porta was on to.
