I'll need to see about getting some.. I've been trying to build up my tolerance to it so it doesn't bother me.. but every now than then I'll forget it's there and bump it or something...

Aloe Vera might help too. IDK on that one though, i'm horrible with that stuff...

I lost my sig duel.

I was just looking at the thread. Your sig wasn't at all bad. Very different themes though.

Nice job on a good sig anyways, Artemis.

Maybe you guys can help me..
I'm trying to figure out how much Wondra can lift based off of lifting a freight train over her head...

How much do freight trains weigh?

Roughly 2 tons.

From the second link... (This represents the average freight train, which weighs about 8000 tons)

That seems accurate. haermm

That's the average automobile.

That what I get for skimming 🙁

OK here's a better one. According to Wiki the R44 train cars weighed about 45tons when empty.

Those are the cars. The engine itself tends to weigh more because that's where all the pulling power for the train is.. and it is a freight train so its also going to weigh more than a passenger train engine.

I'm guessing the 8000 number Smurph mentioned is refering to the total train, cars and engine.

But it gives you something to work off of at least.

Yeah that about what an average train weighs.

Well.. Gary Fitzpatrick says a train engine weighs 400 tons... and he's the administrator of rail operations for the Florida Department of Transportation...

Do you trust that number?

(8000-400)/45=168 cars...

(8000-E)/45=C

Where E is the weight of the engine and C is the number of cars...

How many frieght cars does a freight train usually have? The less cars the higher the weight of the engine to make the formula work...

Around 130-140 range.

The 130 would, most likely, be 130 tons dry weight. They have a fuel capacity of 2500 gallons. So you'd have to do some math, based on how full the tank might have been, to get a total of what she's lifting.

One gallon is, around, 7lbs.

So, (7*2500) /2000 + 130 = 138.75 tons if the tank is full.
