RMccord. Thanks for sharing your recent towing experiences. Although not a railroader, I also was most interested in all the fasinating railroading information on the web link.
I too believe our TTs are under axled and under tired. I have had no problems on the 1st 10,000 miles but don't like the way the axles twist when making sharp corners and load D tires in 15 inch don't give much load reserve. To improve the load/strength in 15 inch, I just purchased ST225/75R15 10-ply Load E (2830#). They give a higher profile and will run at 75# which will translate to about 80# while running hot. Heavier axles and disc brakes are on my wish list, but it is still tire problems that get us in trouble. Since it has taken me two years to get our TT to where we like everything, will not quickly trade (famous last words) but will consider the axle upgrade and disc brakes when begin to see some wear on shakles etc. Mid September will test these tires on 3000 mile trip.
