Poor BW restricted to a snails pace.
Stephenson got to faster at Rainhill.
HA!
Yeh, we knows all about buckled track here when the temps soar.
WOLO restrictions are enforced when ever our thermometer hits 38 C.
At least you got a speedo that actually works.
Many of the old timer Red Rattlers in smog hollow Sydney had defunct speedos.
Find out how fast you was percolating by just how much slap occurred on the rails at curves.
The Yanks had the harmonic speed restriction on sectional rail.
34 foot lengths of rail and 40 foot box cars.
Travel at 25 MPH and they get up a nasty sway with the diagonally opposite end wheels going clickety clack in the rail joints.
Trains can actually derail due to the harmonic becoming severe.
So, they gotta either travel below 25 MPH, or increase train speed through 25 mph as quickly as possible.
The double nose job hysterical trip today was 27 LATE.
But, not due to heat, or going clickety clack.
It definitely AIN'T hot here, and we now got continuous weld rail.
Things just go that way here these days on our privatized railway.
Steve.
