I'll try to describe the first half of the trip beginning at the Madison airport station.
Accelerate to 60 mph then immediately apply the brakes to slow to 30 mph.
Continue at 30 mph for about 3 miles through Madison ending with a 20 mph hairpin turn.
Coming out of the turn, accelerate to 110 mph.
By the time you hit 110, brake again for an 86 mph curve.
Throttle up to 100-110 for the next 4 miles until you approach Sun Prairie.
Slow to 79 mph for about 2 miles through Sun Prairie.
Then highball 110 the next 9 miles, slowing to 79 again for another 2 miles through Waterloo.
Once clear of Waterloo, highball 110 mph for another 11 miles to Watertown.
Cut speed to 45 mph to switch to the CP track and then stop at the station at Watertown.
Distance traveled: 38 miles. Distance at 110 mph: <24.
Measurements are approximate.
