I'm with you. I like the fast stuff. Trains are already saving butt loads of money keeping vehicles off the freeway. I wish there were more 70+'s especially where I live in "Slowhio".
Well, it makes sense, but I really hate to see that. I heard the dispatcher void one of these speed restrictions for train ZCSSC. It is hard to understand why they are slowing down even the hottest of the hot. How widespread are these restrictions? Every train? Even the Z trains? What is the usual speed limit?
Is UP the only railroad doing this. CN isn't and it appeared BNSF wasnt either. How long will it be before every other railroad follows suit?
