[quote user="Euclid"]Are you saying that crews stopped speeding after the I.C.C. mandatory 79 mph limit was imposed in 1951; or that they continued to speed after the speed limit was imposed because they knew speeding was possible without risk?[/quote] Obviously as others told they didn't stop. Before 1951 speed limits were company rules based on state of the track. So before 1951 90 mph wasn't speeding it was track speed. After 1951 the same speed became speeding. The crews knew from before the ICC's speed limit what the tracks were good for if the track was kept to the same standard. I would suggest these crews didn't see a risk going faster than 79 mph to make-up time.They were officially allowed to a short time back. I haven't been there so I don't know how they felt.
