Even though the CPs AC4400CW have 75 mph gearing, I doubt very much if they get up to that speed, and Vias F40s have max gearing for 95mph and while P42s are 110mph ,they never will attain that on CN track with even with the banking on the LRC cars. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I don't know about that- intermodals really shoot it up off the island of montreal- The Cn detector reports via trains proceeding at 97, 102,, 107, 45.. And thats just yesturday! <br /> <br />CP intermodals have gone 75 MPH- that is the max- and I have seen them do it. Better check the max. Gear ratio speed for those locomotives- <br /> <br />On CP track with our EMD 59PHi We get up to 75, 80- <br />unless it's around the 55 MPH curve.
