[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by gabe I am partial to the T-1, so I would like to believe that. However, didn't the Hiawatha hold the record? I am told that she regularly did well beyond her speedometer. which was 125 mph. Gabe P.S. Did anyone hear of the story where a switcher helped pu***he Hiawatha out of the station (as the Hiawatha's big drivers didn't make them the greatest starters in the world) and the switcher couldn't uncouple. The report was at a crossing tower that they could tell the crew's faces were green as the Hiawatha went by at 100mph+. Gabe [/quote] I've heard that story too, it always gives me a good laugh. Those little yard engines weren't meant for passenger speeds, I can only imagine what it was like being pulled along at 100MPH+. Bumpy I'm sure to say the least.
