Excerpt from The Effects of Cold Weather Upon Train Resistance and Tonnage Rating The resistance offered by railway trains is greater in cold weather than it is under ordinary summer temperatures. Evi dence of this fact will occur to all who are concerned with train operation, and its recognition has led to the practice of redue ing tonnage ratings of locomotives during cold weather. This practice is almost universal among the railroads operating in the northern part of the United States and in Canada. On the few roads, running in this territory, which do not reduce ratings dur ing cold weather, it seems probable that the ordinary summer ratings are lower than they might Well he and that consequently the locomotives have a reserve tractive effort great enough to permit them to handle these same ratings throughout the winter months.
