BNSF limits empties to 55mph for this reason. Years ago, I'm told, they installed an under-car camera and found that some cars were literally "flying" off the tracks at speed. So they came up with the empty rule. So, when we get our train profile, we check for empties. I hate getting an otherwise 70 mph intermodal train with just one empty in it...55! Samd.
