Zark is talking "train" speeds this engine would have operated at in 1940's when these saw service.

There would have still been many cast iron freight car wheels in service, and thus, the speed rating of the cars, would determine the safe train handling speed, not the capability of the locomotive... That's all he was saying....

Jeez, worse than a game of telephone...

It helps to read the post... and maybe, ask a question if you don't understand...

Of course, since this is all part of the great "evil" UP steam conspiracy....flame away....!
