there is usually signage and/or signals to indicate speed restrictions, plus I'm pretty sure you need to qualify on any particular section of track - znufrii Dec 2, 13:49
A report I heard said the conductor said he hit the brakes but the train didn't slow down. He's claiming there was a malfunction. -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 13:47 1
