In my freight haulin' days, and I'm talking railroad, the throttle has eight positions(notches) and sand is used to prevent wheel slippage.

My screen name: Convairator = Convair operator. Extremely grateful to have had such an a great opportunity to fly a rare bird these days. A few times, we used to pull up to FBO's and the line guys would ask, 'is that a world war II bomber'. Haha not quite, but very close.
