Fuel cap

[edit]

The old fuel capacity is listed as 19 tonnes (18.7 long tons; 20.9 short tons) of coal. Is this really tonnes (1,000 kilograms) or is it short tons (2,000 pounds)? In either case, we should really consider showing this in pounds/kilograms since those are the more common units. -- RickyCourtney (talk) 00:45, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I made that capacity showing to try to be neutral between American tons and British long tons, but if it’s the incorrect way to go for an American locomotive, feel free to change it to pounds/kilograms. Someone who likes train writing (talk) 02:13, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But which is the original unit? Tonnes or the American short ton? -- RickyCourtney (talk) 02:50, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
