Reply to "Nickel Plate Road 757 Going to Bellevue, Ohio!"

The 757 was built with roller bearings on the pony axle and the drivers, just like the other NKP S-2 class Berkshires.  The trailing truck and the tender trucks are equipped with solid bearings.  That will trigger the 25 mph speed limit on NS.  The 757 could avoid the busy PRR corridor from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh to Cleveland if the 757 was routed from Harrisburg north to Scranton, Binghamton and Buffalo.  The traffic density is not as great on that routing but it is longer.  The question will be how NS would price the longer route in order to keep the 25 mph move off the busier but shorter route.
