I haven't been able to find any discussion into what the thinking was regarding EMU max speeds. Perhaps the restriction was an FRA requirement based on the proximity to freight operations? The number "79" is kind of weird in that it seems to suggest that there was a "below 80" restriction. There is only one stretch along the line where it seems likely they will run at full speed. Well, at least it is above the 65 mph limit road vehicles are restricted to inside the airport (although in practice that is more like minimum speed:). Plus, strangely enough, the right of way takes a more direct approach into the airport along that stretch, which will in essence make the ride quicker if not faster (whatever that means). |
