The first article I read said Diesel gives 40% additional profit, and Electric gives 100% extra profit. The second article I read said Electric gives 100% extra profit when carrying passengers.

I displatched an electric, diesel and steam pulling oil cars, on a 10 hour trip. The diesel appears to carry 40% more than either of the others.

Would I be correct in thinking the drop in electrics' performance was a change in the game? It seems a 10 car diesel replaces a 14 car steam, so I assume a 7 car electric would earn as many coins (passengers/meil) as a 14 car steam?
