As a matter of interest, why has it become fashionable to say "dragging" these days? What's wrong with "pulling"? Dragging implies that the train is not rolling – that the wheels of the train are locked.

Can it really be classed as a high speed train at 110Kph?
Or is it just moving faster than it usually does?

Because "Pulling" is what our friends in America do !

Here in the UK we HAUL, PROPEL and SHUNT trains. WE do not push or pull them - unless you're Thomas the Tank Engine.

See the rulebook for details. Link here...Online Rulebook Section TW1

Yes, I knew as soon as I sent it that I'd used the wrong word! But "dragging" still sounds ridiculous.
