RailRide posted:60MPH doesn't happen anywhere in the NYC subway system. It only looks like that on the Lexington Ave express because the tunnels are so tight. Top speeds on that line flirt with but don't quite reach 50. I've seen R32 cars reach 56 going downhill in the river tunnel on the N/R/W from 59th street to Queens Plaza.

My wife and I traveled this train a million times when we worked in Manhattan. Everyone called this train "The Bullet". At times it seemed like it was doing 100 and would fall apart at any second! There were times I literally was becoming concerned! LOL!
