Posted by trainsarefun on Sat Mar 8 20:19:25 2008, in response to Re: Re-Open LIRR 'White Pot Junction, posted by Kew Gardens Teleport on Sat Mar 8 19:46:56 2008. Here's an example. On your average local run on the Pt Washington Branch, from Bayside to NYP, the train does an average speed of 27 mph; the express run is about 38 mph average speed. The train never travels in excess of 60 mph during the entire run.LIRR does, to be sure, have sections of track rated for up to 80 mph, although passenger locomotives can only travel at up to 65 mph, I think. |
