Actually, we get about 10 trains a day while the work is being done. Normally about 45 come through.

It sees more than 10, but the only power is YN4 ES44ACs and YN3 CW44ACs.

I did some calculations, and for my HO scale layout I'm planning to work, it will have to go up a 4.5 percent grade. Will my locomotives be able to do this?

Ok, I begining to put some more track down after a long pause. My question is if I use 18" radius curve track is there a greater chance of having a derail when using the larger engines on it for example SD9, C44-8W?
