Nice, this is faster than I'd expect.
Septa subway express trains run up to 70mph.

[@R162A-1-train]

If You Make It 2x Speed, It’s 90mph

[@Tree-oy8nk]

That is super fast

[@gamerboygoescrazy]

Look at those sparks coming out the third rail

[@KatieHuni]

Yep that’s why you never put any metal objects on the tracks and trash has the train passes by because the train moves so fast and it can ignite wood with those sparks and hit the metal on its train wheels causing a track fire to happen and causes delays that’s why there’s always trash bins

[@gamerboygoescrazy]
