This is not a good idea, though it may (dis)solve the problem.  :-DD

How about more good old sodium chloride? Dead Sea that sucker out of there!

And one estimate I heard was that it might require 33,000 tons of pull.  That's a lot of tug boats.

Well, there's a Saturn V already on its side in Florida, maybe they can press that thing into service for a few seconds...

For comparison, a Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range Rwy class M-3 "Yellowstone" 2-8-8-4 simple articulated heavy-duty steam locomotive has a tractive force of 70 US tons.
When I was a mere lad, I could see (through my bedroom window) these in operation, hauling heavy trains of iron ore, and assumed that they were "normal".  I later found that Yellowstones were the highest tractive force steam units ever operated in the US.
