The problem with the FRA speed limit is that it was created half a century ago. It does not recognize the vastly improved truck/wheel/braking technology. It does not recognize distributed operations and how DPU's affect train operating dynamics. It does not recognize the high speed trucks of RoadRailer and RailRunner bi-modal technologies. <br /> <br />Give us DPU's, electronic brakes, and/or bi-modal consists, and we can safely run at higher speeds over existing trackage, right?
