Did you see my post above? If the freight subdivision speed is not over 30mph then there will be no signage for this curve. I'm wondering what "We can't deduce the speed for
> Tacoma Rail and BNSF thru here..." means in your post. Who is "we"? The railfan public? "We" don't need to know the freight speed. Employees do and that is found in the employee timetable. A lack of a speed restriction sign or a green resume board means maximum authorized speed as indicted in the employee timetable and special instructions which all employees affected are required to have in their possession. Therefore, based on the signage in the photo, we CAN deduce that the freight speed is 30mph or lower for the entire subdivision.
