Well, I dont know about the rest of you but I hear stories of steam runs at near 100 mph and able to do it because the hogger knows every inch of that rail and his engine. Add in some guts and glory with a iron hand on the bar mixed with a deaf ear to those who would be cowards that train got down the track very well indeed in the war years. <br /> <br />The differences between 100 and 120 mph really only is about a 4 miles every hour. Typical acceleration and braking on trainsets usually eat that right up. <br /> <br />In the Acela thread I advocated true high speed in excess of 200+
