The S 6 achieved its highest indicated power of 1,160 PS (870 kW or 1,170 hp) at a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph). On the level it could haul a train of 500 tonnes (490 long tons; 550 short tons) (the equivalent of 13 eight-wheeled D-Zug coaches) at a continuous speed of 90 km/h (56 mph). On engines with a feedwater preheater the performance was about 10% higher.

Famous quotes containing the word performance:
“To vote is like the payment of a debt—a duty never to be neglected, if its performance is possible.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The audience is the most revered member of the theater. Without an audience there is no theater. Every technique learned by the actor, every curtain, every flat on the stage, every careful analysis by the director, every coordinated scene, is for the enjoyment of the audience. They are our guests, our evaluators, and the last spoke in the wheel which can then begin to roll. They make the performance meaningful.”
—Viola Spolin (b. 1911)
