Was talking to a german rail fan at a yard in ohio today. He told me that german freight trains do 80 MPH (But passenger trains get priority). The FRA is hancapping freight railroads by limiting there speed if we have faster freight we could have faster passenger. In Canada i was told 90 MPH freights were not that uncommon and this was before CTC.
