	Railcar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "railcar" is usually used in reference to a train consisting of a single coach (carriage, car), with a driver's cab at one or both ends.
		While early railcars were propelled by steam, gasoline, and diesel, modern railcars are usually propelled by a diesel engine mounted underneath the floor of the coach.
		Railcars are economic to run for light passenger loads because of their small size, and in many countries are often used to run passenger services on minor railway lines, such as rural railway lines where passenger traffic is sparse, and where the use of a longer train would not be cost effective.

	Air Power - Railcar Movers
		By borrowing weight from the railcar itself added traction is shifted to the vehicle, pushing it firmly down upon the rail line.
		To calculate the amount of Tractive Effort a given railcar mover can produce simply add the weight of the vehicle itself to the amount of weight being transfered from the railcar it is coupled to and then divide the total by 0.33 (the Coefficient of Drag).
		Once you have calculated the amount of Tractive Effort a Railcar mover produces you can then determine the number of railcars (loaded or empty)it will be capable of moving at one time.
