My goodness! I haven't seen train speeds like that in a good while! I am also not used to seeing GE's move that fast! Lol! (I probably need to get to trackside more often). The Geep 60's certainly put on a show with the high priority train! The EMD's appeared right at home on the raceway. I am sure the GE's were doing just fine too. Lol! Fantastic shots! Thanks for the share!

I realize that this video is old but I'm curious to know what the track speed limit was at the time..?

Why so much lower in that 2nd train?

I'm guessing you mean "power" and if so it was probably a balancing or ferry move to another point.
