<p>[quote user="JimValle"]</p> <p>I think fast running is much overrated! It results in lots of wear and tear on the locomotives and equipment and the risk of an accident increases dramatically. A nice run at normal track speeds ought to be sufficient and addresses the need to preserve our steamers into the distant future.</p> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>...and it makes the excursion last much less longer. Espeacially today when a significant portion of the people who ride are families, ect. People want it to last, so they can savor the experience and revell in the nostlagia.</p> <p>If I'm gonna pay close to $200 for an excursion ticket, I want it to be a day-long event, and get the most for my money.</p> <p>...and anyone who has ever ridden the Accela will know that going 90+ mph is really overated.</p>
