The MP40 locomotives have a top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph). Back in the days of the F59PH locomotives, their top speed was 130 km/h (83 mph) and it was not uncommon for a westbound train to reach this speed between Scarborough and Danforth stations.calvinhchttp://lrt.daxack.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-53238348074966123322013-07-25T11:56:31.264-04:002013-07-25T11:56:31.264-04:00The train didn't hit my home so I think we'...The train didn't hit my home so I think we're good here.C.J.

You're a dolt.<br /><br />http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/<br /><br />Train in Spanish crash was 'travelling at more than double the speed limit'<br /><br />The train that derailed in Santiago de Compostela on Wednesday evening killing 80 people and leaving more than a hundred injured was reportedly travelling at more than twice the speed limit. <br /><br />The driver of the train made a panicked phone call moments before the crash saying that the train was going too fast.<br />"I'm at 190 (kmph) and I'm going to derail!" the engine driver told the controllers of RENFE, the rail network.<br /><br />Two men were at the controls of the train at the time, and it was not clear who had made the call.<br /><br />Police sources told Spanish newspaper El Pais that, moments after the crash, the traumatised driver made another call to the operator.<br /><br />"It derailed!" he said. "What am I going to do, what am I going to do? We are all humans – we're humans. I hope there are no fatalities because it will all be on my conscience."<br /><br />Both the drivers escaped the crash with minor injuries.<br /><br />The carriages careened off the tracks at a curve approaching the station at Santiago where the limit is set at 80 km per hour (50mph).Hi from the UK!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-22711182100316058762013-07-25T11:40:05.534-04:002013-07-25T11:40:05.534-04:00pay no attention to Fran she's a little 'w...pay no attention to Fran she's a little 'wreckless' with her spelling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-33234154987935295072013-07-25T11:17:44.704-04:002013-07-25T11:17:44.704-04:00LOL at Fear Mongering.LOL at Fear Mongering.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-50564156107312048222013-07-25T10:32:37.604-04:002013-07-25T10:32:37.604-04:00Fran ... derailment can happen at 10km/h simply by...Fran ... derailment can happen at 10km/h simply by a switch being in the wrong position, and an engineer not paying attention, or looking at the wrong spot at the wrong time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422344700789040705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-44865151975747917502013-07-25T09:26:22.673-04:002013-07-25T09:26:22.673-04:00GO trains travel faster than 90 km/hr Fran.

Plus... the minute the temp climbs to over 30, we get to crawl the whole way home. Don't use your blog to fear monger. That's just wreckless and dangerous. You should be ashamed of yourself!Frannoreply@blogger.com
