IIRC that chart was from an entry on Greater Greater Washington and they just used the timetables to calculate speeds. Using wiki's 16.4 miles for the red line and 29 minutes from the timetable I get 33.9 mph for the red line. Using 6.4 miles and 13 minutes for the purple line I get 29.5 mph. They get 26.4 mph so either the timetables changed or our distances are different. They may have inadvertently been using the total track length (to the yard) which would lower the speed. Or maybe wiki is wrong.For the red line it's I once asked an operator how fast the trains went through the hills and he said about 65 mph. On a semi-related note I was traveling next to a green line train on the 105 east of the 710 and can confirm that they also travel at 65 mph. I've read where some people say 55 mph max, but I've been next to them several times when they were traveling 65 mph though sometimes they do only go 55 mph. |
