Approaching the curve on 2 main tracks it is 30 then becomes 23 when it becomes single main. It might be posted locally otherwise but 23 mph pretty much rules the hill up to the Cable crossover. -Bill- Date: 03/04/19 18:21 Re: Caliente Bullet trains Author: RailRat Love it, and Fast is Funny!

There's a section of 15 MPH between MP 335.4 and MP 336.0 Northbound. Date: 03/04/19 19:45 Re: Caliente Bullet trains Author: crazybill PHall Wrote:

This time table is a couple years older so 15 mph is probably correct..... -Bill- |
