I just wonder if Mr. Mooreman (sp) MIGHT be inclined to "modify" that old policy? Once he gets a taste of high horsepower main line running, plus if the NS operating department expects to get their "special" across the railroad in a more timely manner, the just might want to con side 60MPH.

 

We were NOT limited to 40MPH with the 4449 trip to Michigan and back, in 2009. Mr. Bob Saxon even road with is, on the engine, during the return trip, and we ran 60MPH all the way. You would think that if 60MPH was good enough for an Amtrak Steam Special on NS, it would be good enough for their own Steam Specials.
