Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull

To determine performance, read from Standard Gross Weight down to Total Resistance %. Total Resistance equals actual % grade plus 1% for each
10 kg/metric ton (20 lb/ton) of Rolling Resistance. From this point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest attainable speed range.
Then, go down to Speed. Usable Rimpull depends on traction available.

To determine performance, read from Gross Weight down to % Effective Grade. Effective Grade equals actual % favorable grade plus 1% for each 10

Then, go down to Maximum Speed. Retarding effect on these curves represents full application of the retarder.
