Difference between Bank engine and Tractive force

Bank engine vs. Tractive force

A bank engine (United Kingdom/Australia) (colloquially a banker) or helper engine or pusher engine (North America) is a railway locomotive that temporarily assists a train that requires additional power or traction to climb a gradient (or bank). As used in mechanical engineering, the term tractive force can either refer to the total traction a vehicle exerts on a surface, or the amount of the total traction that is parallel to the direction of motion.

Similarities between Bank engine and Tractive force

Bank engine and Tractive force have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Diesel locomotive, Electric locomotive, Grade (slope), Locomotive, Pennsylvania Railroad, Tractive force, Union Pacific Railroad.
