Date: 08/24/10 12:13 Re: Any info on when BNSF Special will depart San Diego Author: nikon1 The speed of the train is dictated by several things.
1)the locomotives being used 2)RR rules governing the speed of pass/business trains 3)the Dispatcher. On the Topeka Sub, BNSF typically runs their business/excursion trains btwn 55-60 mph. Charlie MP 53 on the BNSF Topeka Sub Date: 08/24/10 19:24 Re: Any info on when BNSF Special will depart San Diego Author: NdeM On BNSF, max speed for freight engines is 70 mph. Passenger equipment is allowed to go the passenger speed limit. So, a business train with BNSF locomotives can go passenger speed, not to exceed 70 mph. Eventhough the freight speed limit on the San Diego Sub is 55 MPH, the officer special can go 70. It's a fun trip for a freight crew.
