Oh no, don't go disrespecting law enforcement. I caught a lot of grief for pointing out a river valley does not flow across the top of a mountain in another train wreck story.

They don't all weigh the same for a variety of reasons, even those owned by one railroad will not necessarily be the same from one order to the next.
However, this type of locomotive, as pointed out by Hot Water usually exceeds 200 tons.
