Oh, i'm familiar with restricted speed, I was just questioning why the track speed was still 25mph. <br /> Ed, restricted speed is: a speed that will permit stopping within one half the distance of another train, wrong switch, broken rail, EFFICIECNY TEST, stop signal, etc not exceeding 15mph. (that's in my own words, so I'm sure I forgot something). <br /> In Yard Limits, the dispatcher provides protection on the mainline, which a lot of people get confused in school, and in the yard itself the yardmaster gives protection, but you still have to watch out for all the goodies of railroading such as free rolling cars, other crews, switches, etc. And feel free to correct me if I've missed anything.
