Heaviest Trains: metric or imperial/U.S. units
help me

Please help me with...

In the "Heaviest Trains" article they quote:

BHP Billiton: 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) June 2001 trial with 682 ore cars and eight distributed GE AC6000CW locomotives[3] with a total weight of 99,734 tons.[4]

My question: Are the tons quoted in this excerpt metric tons, imperial (long) tons, or U.S. (short) tons?

Please advise as it is unclear both in the article and the online publication's article this information is taken from.

Disambiguation link notification for April 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Weapons of the Vietnam War, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page SGM. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
