Yep ... as long as you kept the timers clearing ahead of you, you could enter at about 2/3 the speed you ran up there with. Southbound, about 1/2. What makes me giggle about the WD's though is that the timers worked just as well ... I consider it typical overkill. Timed zones were waiting for you even if nothing had passed them for a half hour.Don't mind me, I can see the point of them for unusual reroutes like what happened at 14th Street that horrible night. And with CWR down there now, and windows closed and sealed, you don't exactly have track joints to tell you how fast you're moving anymore. But to put those damnable things on a mainline with straight iron ahead ... wow. :( |
