This LTR contains the original results of the Railroad Locomotive Tractive Effort Test performed by Kaiser Engineers on July 29, 1965, using an existing 24-wheel 500-ton dolly and the existing shielded locomotive. The test was conducted to confirm calculations of the tractive effort required to move the LOFT dolly (MTA) through the four-rail high bay curve and the curve into the LOFT containment vessel.
