So 244,000 ish for the locomotive plus another 40k for truck and trailer being conservative. 284,000lbs on 5 axles!!! Thats like 56k an axle if all was equal but you know the front axle probably isnt carrying more than 16. Wow!! Times was a whole lot different. Put ya in jail for those shananigans today.
