The results of computer simulations of railroad operations to determine the energy required to pull freight and passenger trains over mountainous and flat profiles is presented. The effect of variations in average speed, profile and types of freight cars, is also determined.The potential for recouvering braking energy on mountainous grades and during passenger service with frequent stops is evaluated.
