Back in the old days (1966) my friends and I would go to Tolono, Illinois, just south of Champaign, to watch the IC. Many enginemen stated that they would have IC no 2 up to 112 mph or so. I believe the IC had cab signals to permit speeds above 79mph. Our finale for the evening would be to watch no 2 come through Tolono at speed. There was no doubt in our mind that the speed of no 2 was cracking the century mark. It seemed to beat the gates going down. <br />Mitch
