Do they not know how much their train weighs? How come they didn't have enough traction units?

Something was so bad... First thing I noticed, the front loco had only ONE (1) axle sanded! With that, no wonder... What was so heavy (I know US trains are much heavier and longer the European) that TWO locos couldn't move it?? I can see track condition was poor/bad, no wonder again there are drag races metal to metal all the time. We have shunters at 600kW here, still enough (this SD loco isn't a shunter, I know that very well, but if it's rated 4000kW...?). Ofc our diesel locos can go asi high as 1400kW.

The main cause was that the second locomotive was poorly maintained and had to be shut off. No sand, old rails, and the extra weight of the second locomotive contributed to the wheel slip. This is definitely not a normal occurrence in the US, but it's definitely a bad look! More recently, this railroad has improved maintenance on their locomotives significantly and now has 5 all in good working order, so this should never happen again.

Really a GP38-2 is unable to pull just five loaded cars and a copy of itself up a hill? How weak and pathetic! A yard switcher SW1500 can do better than this! There must’ve been some underlying issue with the running locomotive 2235 as well because no way no how a normally running GP38-2 can’t handle just FIVE loaded hoppers and a deadhead locomotive.
