Hello, <br /> I asked the people over at MODEL railroading about scale speeds. Then I thought I'd come HERE and ask the guys that watch the "real deal" for a little help. Can anyone give me an idea of how fast todays trains travel. What's "top speed" for a freight on flat open ground...like in the mid-west? How fast do they go through more "urban" areas? See, I'm starting a hobby of modeling N scale and I'm wondering about observing "scale speed". So WHAT are the "real trains" doing these days?
