@trainguyONR They are required to keep it to ~10MPH until the rear clears the siding. With these 1920's sidings, harmonic roll is a serious issue. Speeds of 10 to 25MPH is the zone where harmonic roll is most likely to occur. I have personally witnessed some loaded autorack cars on that exact siding which came very close to rolling over.
Great angle and shot jay! I taped my first 2 new Cp engines on an intermodal yesterday so I have a video response for your approval
