Gradients at runaways

Because railway wheels have low rolling resistance, even less so with roller bearing, they can roll down quite gentle gradients, such as 1 in 70.2 at Armagh rail disaster. More examples please. Tabletop (talk) 04:58, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Missing grade

The Warfield grade on the CPR/Kootenay Valley Railway in Southern British Columbia is an active 4.1%, and the site of a fatal runaway in 2007: http://www.bst-tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/rail/2007/r07v0109/r07v0109.html?pedisable=true — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.4.12.158 (talk) 13:43, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Arosabahn (Arosaline/Chur-Arosa Railway)

I believe the Arosabahn has a 6% gradient and is a simple adhesion railway. Should it be added to this list? Hugtrain (talk) 15:33, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Have added Arosabahn to table. ----MountVic127 (talk) 22:26, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree :-) Date = 1910; mention Rockfall shelter such as Otford Steel Tunnel. 6% = 1 in 16.67.
