<p>[quote user="A McIntosh"]</p> <p>If I recall, I believe that there are only three grade crossings left on this line. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is working to eliminate these, if they have not done so already. In addition to improved safety, would these trains be able to go faster? [/quote]</p> <p>I believe that you are correct with respect to the grade crossings. Also, if I remember correctly, the line has been upgraded, thanks to the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and can support up to 110 mph.</p> <p>After one of the trains passed the grade crossing that was a focal point in the video that I referred to, two Amish buggies crossed over the tracks. Presumably, the engineer would not have to run very far into the car in case he or she believed that a collision with the buggy was about to happen. </p>
