Abstract
PRIOR TO the acquisition of new or improved types of railroad motive power and at times when track or other improvements are contemplated, it is customary to calculate the performance of a typical train over a specified route. The usual step-by-step calculations of train performance are tedious and require considerably more time than a train would need to operate over the same route.
