I must of missed that, that CSX brought the speeds of Conrail back. The pig trains have no problem running the 79 m.p.h. on the former Conrail Lakeshore. At 80 m.p.h. the FRA requires cab signals. I have been watching and listening for the Q-100 and the Q-153 through the Erie, Pa., area with no luck yet. <br /> If you look at the times these trains are trying to maintain, the old Erie-Lackwanna set the standard, keep these times and beat it most of the time. If you wanted track time for a few minutes in front of one of these hotshots on the old EL and one of these trains were within 100 miles, forget it. <br /> It will be interesting to see how long UP can keep this pace up.. <br /> Be safe. <br />
