Long Trains Save Money for Railways
The national railways saved over $100 million in the last year by lengthening trains, pulling heavier loads, and using cheaper coal. For the first half of the year fuel savings approached $15 million as old engines were retired and newer locomotives with greater hauling capacity enabled longer hauls.
