Didn't the pre Conrail Split CSX tried to save fuel through that "Pace 40" program to all to trains ran at a max at 40 MPH. I heard it was big disaster. And Intermodals went back up to a 60 MPH max. I think they found the biggest cause of delays and biggest place for cost savings was in the yards not on the road. I believe and correct me if I am wrong that the UP runs loaded coal trains at 60 MPH on its Central Corridor to keep the line fliud with all that Intermodal traffic and expedited merchandise traffic such as that "Express Lane" service they run with CSX . For only we had a sane transportation policy in this country and the RR would recieve gov't infastructure funds to reinstall multitrack mainlines on all routes that see at least 20 GMTs a year and maintain them to at least FRA Class 4 standards. Maybe then we will see alot more 70 MPH freights and just on certain BNSF and UP routes.
