I'm sorry I don't know the degree of this curve, but there is no speed restriction there, it's 70mph, same for that curve just on the west side of canton, (i love that curve, you just keep leaning and leaning). there is currently a 45mph restriction about 3-4miles west of canton, at the east end of the new siding they are putting in. trains that are good for 70 usually aren't going 70 through canton because it's at the top of a hill both directions, especially westbound, but that curve you are talking about east of town is at the bottom of a hill, so we are usually screaming through there, unless we have to meet, or just met a train at the siding at waldeck. I'll keep my out for ya there at canton, which side of the tracks? I've always wanted to get a pic of an easbound coming around that curve at canton, maybe with one of the "winged wonders" leading into the sunrise, think it would be a cool picture. just a little tidbit, there is an interlocking at McPherson, right by that refinery place, it's 50mph, we really slam that one.
