Weight of Cars

CPR built some 0-6-6-0 pushers around 1900 for the Big Hill at Kicking a Horse Pass, where the Spiral Tunnels are now. They were interesting in that the engines faced each other under the center of the boiler. They were later converted to a successful 2-10-0 design which lasted pretty much to the end of steam if I recall the data correctly.

Yes, you explained that before. Those are not big or powerful locos compared to Yellowstones, Big Boys, Alleghenys, Challengers, Chesapeakes (2-8-8-2’s) and the like.
