Re: 1957: the trains you could see on every line

I went back and checked and made 2 errors in my previous post. The balancing speed for all cars From R10 up to R68A but excluding the R44 & R46 was 50 MPH. The max operational speed on flat, level tangent track was listed as 45 MPH. The balancing speed for the R44/R46 was 80 MPH but max operating speed was 45 on existing lines but could operate up to 70 MPH on hew lines.

Of course, after GOH, with larger traction motors and different gearing, all bets were off.
