How fast do you run your trains?

<p>I run them pretty slow. Even with my upgraded trackwork, I haven't ironed out all the bugs yet, so derailments do occasionally happen. Since my track is only about half done, my trains run backwards a lot, with two engines pushing 10 cars or so. Derailments even at low speed backwards tend to dump cars on their side and create a massive pile-up before I get a chance to sprint to a throttle port, plug in the throttle, and stop the train. I don't even want to think about what would happen at a higher speed...</p><p>I would guess that the fastest I run them on the fastest straightest track is about 45 SMPH. <br></p>
