Real haulage capacity data (without acceleration reserve) exists for both classes across grade (level, 1/500, 1/200, 1/150, 1/100, 1/50) and speed (20-160 km/h), separately for goods service (bogie wagons/4-wheeler wagons) and passenger service (ICF coach). As a representative real figure: WAG9 in goods service can haul above 6000 tonnes on level track at low speed, tapering to around 590 tonnes at 100 km/h on a 1/50 grade.
