I think that’s the weight of a locomotive. The engine within such a locomotive is only about 30,000 pounds or 15 tons.

I think that’s close to the reverse of it, they’re mostly engine, and then there’s generator, resistor banks, 10-15 tons of fuel slung under it, running gear and body.

Why can’t they move the Costa Concordia? It’s already got a lot of water around it
