They try and run the train on a bit of a senior route every year. Sometimes during the summer and most often during Christmas time.

This looks like one of the times they went out for a multi day journey and they borrowed sleeper cars for people. I'm not 100% sure though.

Based on the frequency my countrys railways generally replace trains, it seems they want to keep them for about 30 years, though often ½

Most US railways have a speed limit of 79 MPH on the straights. This is faster than most roadways.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Really? Like 79mph is the maximum they are allowed?

Yes. We (North America) run much heavier and longer trains then anywhere else aside from maybe some lines in Australia.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Ah well I thought about pasanger trains mostly. Here in Germany the ICE is allowed up to 300km/h so about 186mph

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

the regs get fucky past that. Some places have a speed limit of 90 so you'll have diesel locomotives *pushing* the train from the rear at 90

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

90 requires ATS and 4 quadrant gates. Past 90 requires grade separation.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Okay I have no idea what the last sentence means xD But 90 seems slow for such a huge country.
