I will have to check my references, but I believe there was a 6% grade on the Uintah Railway. That, if memory serves, was stated in a Uintah RY video, featuring the newly acquired 2-6-6-2 T's which later became the Sumpter Valley 2-6-6-2's #'s 250, and 251. It wasn't a particularly long grade, but it was a steep one!, that needed the tractive effort of the articulated locos.
yeah that's the Sumpter Valley Railway # 250 in my avatar.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
