An adhesion railroad, unlike a cog railroad, is limited to grades of four to six percent. Freight trains typically operate on railroads with gradients under one and a half percent. While commuter or passenger cars are able to handle some steeper gradients but not like that of a cog railroad which can be upwards of forty five percent.
