Just spotted about a 100 car ethanol train pass langhorne at probably 65 mph. Had 2 foreign/leased power units on front, one was marked as CP, both were worn paint & red. Will post video later this evening when I get home.

It sounded like only a few cars had anything in them.

Railjunkie wrote:65mph? That crew would be OOS and fired if the tapes were pulled, so I highly doubt your claim of speed. Most likely 50mph. 60 is the max and its only for TOFC/COFC.
Just a rough estimate, not a "claim"!

Let's try not to "estimate" speeds on here..........no one knows who reads what on here, so we don't
need to potentially create hard-ships for anyone.

Just saying,
