[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Modelcar ....With the light tonnage of a Triple Crown train I'm sure it can move out at pretty good speed and keep out of the way of most other type freights....Maybe that is one motive but I suppose the fact it is owned by that Co. that is mentioned above may be another reason for it getting priority. I wonder how fast a T C train is really allowed to run. [/quote] I dunno, but one thing for sure, when they are out in the sticks, one engine seems to snap them along quite handily, without sounding very loaded up at all.. Speaking of sound, you can really tell the difference of a Triple Crown train when braking. Where I live there is a river behind me, and the rail line crosses the river, maybe a third of a mile away, so the river channel tends to act as a sound guide. ,This is at a point where the line is just starting to get into the thick of town, and you can hear the TC trains nursing those brakes on constantly, on the inbounds
