@lifewitchace2392 Nope. The limit is 75 mph, and all the locomotives have that standard limit (since the older SD40-2's to the newer SD70ACe's and ES44AC's). In fact, not all the tracks are made and designed to run 75 mph or you will be derailed.
@lifewitchace2392 no. No I wouldn’t. Absolutely NO freight train in the United States goes 100 mph. The max speed on most locomotives are 74 MPH, and speed limits don’t exceed 70. Passenger trains are different but I don’t work for amtrak so I couldn’t tell you. But I can tell you about freight.
That is sped up. Look at the clouds... These trains max is about 80. This was prob at 70. Edit: didn’t know that this was gonna blow up but it is quite funny watching the arguments in replies
@@Snowy-oq4ur yea there were once diesel mechanical locomotives which i believe actaully worked like a car with transmissions and gearboxes like the british rail class 01
And at the speed in which it passes the camera. Those freight locomotives are around 80-85 feet and it passed the camera in less than maybe half a second. So that train to do that would need to be going around 150-180mph to cover that distance in that time. Please note these are estimates since I can't watch shorts frame by frame
I love how you can hear the whine of the locomotives’ traction motors as they pass over the first few seconds. Sounds like quite a few locomotives on this one.
@@Klyftis well yeah European freight are far different and certainly lighter weight than American freights, but still impossible for American freights to do 100 MPH lol
Perfect example of Einstein's theory of relativity. The passengers on the train feel little movement, the cars at the railroad crossing wait impatiently for the "slow" train to pass, and to the camera on the tracks, it's going 300mph. It's really fascinating what perspective can do.

@@tornadotackler it's still illegal to place or throw any small or large object on a railroad track. Small objects that are left on a railroad track can become a “projectile” as the train passes it.

“no GE junk locomotive can go that fast” Buddy P42DCs and P32AC-DMs hit 110 regularly in New York, and before the chargers took over P42s sustained 110 in Michigan.
100 percent false. Freights aren't allowed to travel those speeds. 60mph max in North America. Oh and don't caught doing that you will be charged by the railway. They are seriously clamping down on the trespassing with all the fatalities around the tracks. As a railroader involved in a few fatalities in a passenger train please be careful around the tracks. It isn't a nice scene when a human gets hit by a train.
What I like most about the video is how the guy teleports in the last two frames and the sound doesn't sync with the wagons and the video doesn't run at 3-4 times speed at all
Breaking news . we’ve got a runaway bnsf train traveling at what police say 100 mph . all towns in the path of the locomotive are currently being evacuated right now . and on the track there seems to be a gopro on the locomotives path

Bro, a train’s max speed with diesel is 125 mph, and with that much freight, it would go down by so much making it go at least 70 mph and the fastest it can go with freight is 80 mph

Max speed of a GE freight loco is 70 MPH, 65 for older ones.
Max speed set by the manufacturer on virtually all GE AC locomotives is 75 MPH. Been like that for decades. For EMD it’s almost always 70 MPH.
Seen them at 73 in both IL and NM and confirmed with pacing.
@mkmcclure yea its called overspeed. Just because they do it doesnt mean its legal 😂. They just going for that quit tryna get off the train asap.

And the TGV which routinely goes 200 MPH although could do 360 MPH
P42DCs go 110 MPH
And the ACS-64 is built for 135 and runs routinely at 125 on the northeast corrridor route as the northeast regional

The max speed for freight (Intermodal specifically) is not 60 except for on NS. BNSF, UP and CSX all have divisions with 70 MPH sections.
