Forgot to mention in here that 511 was the leader on this past Saturday's WANM. I'm guessing it's still on Waterville trains at this point, perhaps even WANM

That would be 15 MPH in 10 MPH territory, which puts you in harmonic rocking territory and would be pretty unpleasant for the passengers.

Road Foremen take liberties but passenger trains must adhere to freight speeds in the absence of passenger speeds in the TT.
