It would be fun to see how it would play out between an SD70ACE and Caterpiller 797F.
The truck has almost 4000 hp and weighs 1,375,000 lbs. fully loaded. The traction has to be incredible with its huge tires, weight, and rubber-on-the-ground.
Two setups:
1. A very tight chain linking them.
or
2. A chain with a little slack.
The truck is made to haul, and the locomotive is made to pull.
I wonder which would win?
