Someone on Facebook said that the NEC has a speed restriction between RIC and PHL to 85 MPH to trains with a baggage car. Anyone know anything more about this?
I assume either the VL or Heritage. I don't know. Poster on FB just said "any train with a baggage car is limited to 85". Sounds weird to me.Which kind of baggage car?
Agreed. Hence my original question about which type of baggage car. Apparently that question did not come to the mind of the poster on FB, which suggests that s/he was just parroting something without understanding the subject matter fully.I didn’t think anything was still using a Heritage baggage car, except maybe certain Midwest corridor trains needing axle count cars.
Back in the day, Heritage-equipped trains (I believe either baggage or dining cars) were limited to 90 mph on the NEC. I suppose, technically, they still are, except that there aren’t any so-equipped.

Nothing goes as slowly as the Acela Express between New Rochelle and New Haven.No use lowering it unless you make it as fast as the LD trains- sometimes they go so slow that if I walk to the back of the train,I go back in time.
