Freight train speed question

 by Frank ¦  Sun Oct 15, 2023 11:13 pm ¦  Forum: General Class I and II Discussion ¦  Topic: Freight train speed question ¦  Replies: 2 ¦  Views: 329

I'm not sure which forum this question belongs in but: Why are freight trains limited to 50mph? Most track in the US is Class 4, shouldn't it be good for speeds up to 60mph for freight? Or is it due to braking issues?

The maximum number of dual mode Chargers for the LIRR has now dropped from 65 to 60. This second option brings the total to 33. Options remain to purchase 32 additional units, along with 14 more for ConnDOT, 25 for NYSDOT and 60 for LIRR. https://www.railwayage.com/mechanical/locomotives/more-sieme...

Any kind of improvement in Amtrak service is better than what we have now.

Who know? If they continue at it, maybe something will be done.

I haven't heard of any plans to double track from east of Locust Valley Oyster Bay. It would be a good idea though.

Wouldn't the HEP use some power from the locomotive and reduce its pulling power?
