Is it pulling the same load those crazy thing that self destruct are pulling? Or just a "regular heavy load"

Same weight on same sled. The fast boys have all the horsepower, but this traction engine has all the torques and also HELLA good traction, which is all you need to pull a mountain across the continental divide. Might take you a while to get there, but by Thomas Savery it WILL reach the goal eventually, provided you have the fuel available.
