The reason I asked about speed was because last week I was driving thru a rural area and came across a freight train at a crossing after looking at the trains go by I took out my stop watch and started counting cars I counted 103 cars and 3 engines and 1 caboose. Assuming 50' cars, space for couplers the train was about 1 mile long and it took 23min.to pass which I think is a little more than 2 miles per hour, is this about correct? <br />I have now put a camera in my truck and it will probably never happen again. Thanks for all your information. <br />Beeline
