[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Sask_Tinplater On the CP line that goes through my town, all trains have been restricted to 10mph because of the condition of the track for well over a year. As we speak, CP is replacing the track on this line, which will enable trains to travel at much greater speeds. However, once the work is complete, trains will only travel at 30mph. This is because people have become so acustomed to the trains traveling very slowly and are used going through crossings with plenty of time to spare before the train gets there. If there was a really dramatic speed increase, people might underestimate the speed of the train and, well, we all know what the results could be. To avoid this, they are gradually increasing the speed limit. Are there any laws or regulations that CP is following or are they just doing this on their own free will? Is this a common policy in situations like this? [/quote] If the crossings are "gated" the speed of the trains wouldn't make any difference. If not a graduated speed increase sounds like a good idea.
