I saw a NS freight train speed through Clemson, SC yesterday, on the main line between Charlotte and Atlanta.
First, is there any site or way to determine NS freight train speeds? If the maximum for Amtrak is 79 mph, do NS freight trains also travel 79 mph in the same places where Amtrak does?
Second, two of the three locomotives on the train were light blue with a silver stripe; I didn't see a railroad name on them, other then the reporting mark GMLX. The only Internet info I could find out about GMLX is "Greenwich & Meridian Lines", but is that a real railroad or equipment provider?
Thanks.
