I remember getting on the Twin City Zephrys, 400, Hiawatha, and going to Chicago in <br />five and half hours from St. Paul. <br /> <br />Remember the fastest trains in the worl at one time were these very trains until the japanese. and europeans got into the picture. <br /> <br />When the railroads bailed out of the passanger business and what eventually turned into Amtrak all safety controls (ATS,ASC.) went by the wayside so that trains were restricted to 79mph. The Northeast Corridor is about the only area were this equipment is still in use. <br /> <br />Tom <br />Retired Snake <br />God Bless the Great Northern
