Ken,
All you need to do is show me a timetable or speed sign on the SP that shows a posted SP speed over 79 mph.... (90/70?)?
You can't. Because, SP had no posted speeds, that I've been able to find in any official SP source, that officially "authorized " anything higher than 79. It isn't that they didn't go faster, there are numerous stories and documented cases of that. But, it was never "authorized" by a speed sign or timetable.
Regardless of when I worked for the SP, I do have a personal collection of SP Employee Timetables going back as far as the 1920's for most of the western divisions, and I can't find anything to support your claim that any authorized speed higher than 79 was ever officially permitted anywhere on the SP.
