How much fuel do the NMRR diesel trains carry? Do they need to fill up on every trip, or just once a day, or less often than that? I'm assuming there's no fuel available in GCT, so the trains into New York need to come in with enough fuel to make it back to their starting point.
Fueling? Depends on which route the train goes on. Each route different miles. As well the locos may be rotate on different routes. Then how many cars the loco is pulling or pushing.
When Amtrak once published figures their loco consumption was about 2 - 2.1 gallons per mile. But that figure would be much different for commuter operations. HEP, more starting and stopping, weight of cars, grades, etc.
It may be the locos are rotated thru to just a few fueling points???
