samcevoy Member # 1752	posted Greetings to any and all western road conductors, enginemen/enginewomen or other knowledgeable people: When the TPOB of a freight train is computed, I am assuming that the weight of the loco(s) is (are) included in the calculations!? Is it assumed that the locomotives have no/zero brakes because of bailoff? In shourt, how are the engine weights and brakes counted in the calculations of TPOB.
