"BTW, what's the speed limit on the HOG east of Cordele? I know the speed on the west end was up to 40mph at one point?" <br /> <br />The HOG has Class 2 track--25 MPH freight/30 MPH for our passenger train. The jump in maintenance costs between Class 2 and Class 3 track is steep and unwarranted by the nature of the HOG's freight business. I've gotten used to 30 now, and it doesn't seem so poky to me anymore. <br /> <br />(For those who are interested see http://www.trains.com/Content/Dynamic/Articles/000/000/003/010pwhmw.asp for a good explanation of FRA track classifications.) <br /> <br />Lee <br /> <br />
