Any general merchandise (i.e - box car, hopper, etc.) is limited to 60 MPH, but those carrying hazardous materials may be limited to 50 MPH. Intermodal and stack trains in the West are run faster, usually 70 MPH but some stretches of 75 MPH are out there.The Sante Fe's Super C Freight service (TOFC) ran as fast as 79 MPH. The DD40X had a top speed of 90 MPH although I doubt they ever reached it in freight service. |
