It depends on the class of the freight train, the local track conditions and whether it is accellerating, running or decellerating for one reason or another. Fast freights in the Southeast run about 50 mph when track conditions permit. Drag freights (unit coal trains) run 20 mph or so. Mixed freights usually run closer to Fast freights. This does not count the time lost waiting for another train to clear, waiting to leave the yard, pumping up the air, etc. <br /> <br />I hope this helps. - Ed
