none of these trains looked like 100mph

@milepost312

Mile 50.49 Kingston sub..... always fast!!!

[trinityct]

I timed the first train, it seemed to be doing 110 mph....Which is weird, because the speed limit is 100 mph...Isn't it? P42's are capable of 110mph, though, so aren't they allowed to go that fast?

[LanceCampeau]

@trinityct

I film at this crossing specifically because these guys are often truckin hard.... I'm sure they are over 100 most of the time...

I see you almost lost your camera there on the final train. How did you secure your camera so you wouldn't loose it?

[LanceCampeau]

@qnuts

Didn't secure the camera... I figured, the ballast doesn't get picked up and thrown around so why would my camera?

[5521Brite]

I was expecting that first one to come from in front rather than behind....so THAT was a surprise!

pas fort les jeunes peuvent regarder cela et penser qu'ils peuvent faire pareil en se couchant sous le train. En passant c'est illégale ce que tu fais.

@5521Brite That's what she said..

@BarbarousPit553 VIA and CN before it operate passenger trains scheduled at 100 mph between Toronto & Montreal. In America, 79 mph is the fastest a passenger train can go without automatic train stop signals. In Canada, its 100 mph if the track, trains and grade crossing conditions permit it. And more than 70 percent of the Toronto-Montreal route is good for 100 mph. The 100 mph-rated districts have expanded to much of Windsor-Chatfield, Toronto-Ottawa, Ottawa-Montreal, & Montreal-Quebec.

there may be a speed limit for trains, but who's gonna pull over a fucking train?

[MrCzechTexan]

faster than amtrak...

[mrttcbus]

u shouldnt shove your camera under the train. like in the third seen you can actually see the dots and dirt on the camera, i would only reccomend u to do it if u have 1 cam for shoving under trains, and 1 for regular filming, but still excelent vid, nice railfanning.

[NekoMasterMax]

GE P42's actually can't do any better then 105 MPH, but that doesn't matter since the rail's are limited to 100 MPH due to track and signal's.

[BarbarousPit553]

it's more like 100 KPH

[trinityct]

@LanceCampeau What about the F40PHs? Aren't they only capable of 100? :)
