Actually it was work train cars -- some maintenance of way cars were restricted, but, if none of those were in the train, then it was allowed track speed. Often though, there were restricted cars in work trains. There were some ancient cars with arch bar trucks in Santa Fe MofW service through at least the 1960's. You had to look at the Timetable speed restrictions for equipment restrictions, as Santa Fe did not issue a separate special instructions publication like many other roads did.
High-wheeled engines can run at slow speeds.
