NS’s over speed is set to 60mph, anything over 60 the locomotives go into penalty and stop. Also the crew with be in trouble. BNSF is limited to around 71-72ish.
79 is the practical limit on US freight railroads... Above that the DoT requirements go up so the railroads don't apply fothe higher speeds. Over the past few years, they have significantly cut speeds of most trains other than those intermodal trains. It really cuts down on the number of locomotives required for each train.
@@phreshone1 there are no freight trains in the US running at 79 mph. And the 79 mile an hour max speed has nothing to do with the type of train at all. The 79 mile an hour maximum speed has to do with whether or not the line in question has Cab, Signals, ATS, or ATC. If you don’t have one of those three things, no matter the track class you can’t exceed 79 mph. The actual maximum speed on the track is designated by FRA track class. None of the above has anything to do with the DOT. It has everything to do with the FRA. Of the FRA track classes that allow speed above 70 mph for freight, not a single class 1 is buying equipment that can regularly exceed that. Most freight locomotives can’t exceed 70 or 75 depending on the make and model.
The three locomotives pass the end of the fence in 64 frames of video at 30fps, which makes for ~100 feet per second, which is pretty much bang on 70mph.
Are we just going to ignore the Santa Fe
Nope
👌👌👌
I caught a 70MPH ns before that was crazy

@@1829entertainment all about terrain, BNSF out west is full speed 70, whereas NS is mostly curvature with high grades in most of its system
Cap
@@1829entertainment That would be correct
@@AbelG8781 That’s right
Nice warbonnet
Sheesh how high is the train speed limit
70MPH is max speed through Holbrook, AZ

When they said same day delivery they meant it.
Wow she's flying
Nice
More like 75 wow
Nope. 70.

Nah, PTC won’t let them get to that speed.
At Corcoran ca BNSF’S go 79mph
By god
Nice warbonnet, foamer
