    Despite historically being stated from individuals that the North Shore and other former interurban having faster maximum speeds, one forgets those lines would also be under the same tight speed regulations if those interurban lines were still running today. For instance, the maximum operating speeds for railroad passenger trains with dual crossings is 79 miles per hour. To run faster the lines would have to be upgraded to accommodate higher running speeds.

    Great ride and adventure! However the NORTH SHORE LINE was always the top speed champion. It ran trains around 90 miles an hour as you entered Wisconsin just before the ILLINOIS -WISCONSIN STATE LINE. It ran no less than 70 miles an hour even through the built up suburbs and between stations. These speeds more than made up for slower running on the L and the tortuous slow street running in Milwaukee Wisconsin.

      The South Shore Line is no match for the speed of the North Shore Line and the Chicago Aurora and Elgin which ran at much greater faster speeds especially between stations and open country running.
