Back in Central days the 20 Century Limited did every bit of 100 MPH.

i used to pace the "TV" trains between Butler and Edgerton back in the Conrail days. 75 mph was par for the course. sixty trains a day was common too. quite a few of those are now running CSX.

SHUT UP !!!!

Gareth,

Wow... he was definitely kicking right along! Those GEs can really move a train along. That was a great K5LA on the lead unit. Must have been quite a feeling to be standing that close to something that massive moving at that speed! Great video!

thats crazy!! at 0:47.. there is a trailer with 2 red stripes.. thats one of the trailers i pull!!! lol

Part of the reason for the slow speed is that the higher speeds don't justify the fuel consumption for the small amount of time shaved off the runs.

he was haulin ass!

NS does not go 70 ANYWHERE on the Chicago Line. 60 at the fastest (sometimes 65, but then they are technically speeding). Amtrak is allowed 79 in spots.

[ble909]

yeah hes doing every bit of 60 through there. you wont see anything doing 70 out east anymore, and i couldnt answer as to why that is if you asked me. BNSF and UP still haul ass out west.

[garetharogers]

@ble909 Yeah out in central Illinois on the transcon they go really fast.

[1225dude]

@ble909 I live on the BNSF racetrack and I've seen stuff pushing 80. really is something amazing

[MrFasttrack1]

suprised them car alarms didnt go off!

[clinton984]

You had a pretty prime spot, so it must've felt like 70. Love that NS line.

[amtrakjackson]

60.

[nyshortline]

I understand NS intermodals are good for 60 not 70, although wishful thinking. ;>)

[justkiddin08]

he was moving at a good speed. Nice video.
