>I just looked at the trailer for "Bad Day at Black Rock" on imdb.com; the train's movement didn't give the impression of being enhanced, and I would estimate the speed at about 40mph.

Other scenes, not in the trailer, show the train moving at a clip obviously far in excess of the 30 mph allowed for the Owenyo branch (the movie producers were trying to portray a crack streamliner).

(freight train max. speed between Mojave and Owenyo in 1955 was also 30 mph)
