Hy-Rail speed limit?
Author: CWS
Date: 03-02-2018 - 11:31

A UP Hy-Rail just blasted by my backyard on the Fresno Sub doing about at least 50 mph. Last year while driving down Linne Rd in Tracy, I had a friendly "race" if you would with another UP Hy-Rail doing 55 mph from the switch just east of the ACE Tracy Station to Carbona. We were acting out a Fast and the Furious drag race. So anywho, my question is, "what is the maximum authorized speed while operating and Hy-rail while on the track. Let just say no form ABCDEFG's in effect, passenger speed is 79 mph. Perfect CWR in perfect condition. What other factors dictate, besides the obvious,(track conditions, weather conditions, switch points, signaling, etc.) the speed limits for these vehicles.
