JV team said rr runs 70 mph trains . Really ? Doesn’t EMS control train speeds to save fuel ? Where are Up trains going 70 mph ?

60 ALL DAY ON THE FRESNO SUB
Only wanted to know if JV team is telling truth about rr having 70 mph trains in use.
Who gives a SH*T. Sound like bunch of Foamers arguing over train speed.
Idgets. Nx284 to wx510 70mph going east. down hill. Not powered to pull west. TO can do it easy, leader has a hard time as it got nerfed last spring.
West Texas. 70mph all day
There might be 70mph track listed in the timetable but its littered with countless slow orders so no one is moving that fast.
JV quoted in Trains.com that Up had 70 mph trains. I Been looking at train scanner info , couldn’t find any 70 mph trains going by the scanners.
None of those buffoons who sit around a do video’s (don’t you have anything else to do) really knows anything about how the RR actually works
Ssssshhhhh.....keep it down guys! The financial analysts might hear you. Why you gotta be so negative by bringing facts into this situation. Didn't you hear how happy and engaged all employees are? C'mon y'all....homeboy used to be a boxer and he failed to summit Everest like 6 times. You don't wanna play around with big D vibes like those.
If the UP trains actually went that fast, then they'd be catching up to Amtrak. The fastest thing at the UP right now is Venas bullsh-t. I haven't seen a UP train break 55mph in a very long time. Most of the trains in my area were restricted to 50. A 3 mile long train doing 70 tends to get people's attention.
We have multiple 100+ mile subdivisions that are restricted to 25 mph because UP won't maintain the track
