Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that a freight train that has all articulated cars can do the same speed as a passenger train is permited to around curves. I remember reading that somewhere. Whether it was a true statment I'm not sure. I also believe that Santa Fe had or attempted to run fast piggy backs at 79 miles per hour with a few locomotives which were re-geared to achieve the higher speed. Correct me if I'm wrong on this. I'm interested to know. I seem to remember reading something on this.
