Georgetown Loop Locomotives

Hello, there has been talk in the past about generated revenue and annual passenger counts on the loop. Naturally, daily passenger train capacity and train frequency are the key elements. I am curious about the different past and present locomotves used on the loop and how many cars they could haul up the grades and curves. I know the shays have more tractive effort than the other steamers. For example, how may cars could shays #12 and #14 handle compared to #40 and the current #12 and #9. Also, how many cars could diesels 130 or 140 handle compared to the current diesels and the anticipated 1203?
Sincerley,
