I don't think even in the hands of the best BMT M/M, the steels could have achieved 60 MPH and I doubt even the multis could have done it. I once clocked a train of R-16s on the Jamaica Exp manhattan bound between E/Pky and Bway/Myrt at 60 MPH but that was the only time I ever observed an NYCT train going that fast on the NYCTS. Generally 55 MPH was considered the maximum attainable speed on most NYCTA equipment and I don't recall even seeing the R-44s or 46s going any faster even though they were supposed to have that capability. |
