"Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Vol. LXX, Dec. 1910 Locomotive Performance On Grades Of Various Lengths, Paper No. 1172"

In Item 15 the energy derived
from all sources is equivalent to 24.3%; hence the stored heat may be
considered as responsible for an equivalent of 24.3% - 16% = 8.3% for a
distance of 5 miles.
