How fast can a freight locomotive go?
Trains carrying freight are currently allowed to travel at speeds of up to 70 mph or 80 mph, but unloaded many trains generally only travel from 40-50 mph, according to FRA researchers.
Why are freight trains so slow?
One reason is the weather: CSX, which owns the tracks, orders MARC trains to slow down for safety when it’s hot or very rainy. That’s what CSX Vice President for Passenger Operations Jay Westbrook told the MARC Riders Advisory Council last week. High temperatures can make the rails buckle.
