Talk:List of steepest gradients on adhesion railways

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)

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)

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)
