    Try closer to 30 average. Most rail isn’t rated for above 50 outside the Northeast Corridor, and you’re also pausing for hours at a time sometimes because freight rail gets priority treatment.

      Not sure, and actually I think passenger gets priority, but there’s so few compared to freight it porb leans that way…

      I still FUCKING LOVE Amtrak.
