Chicago - St. Louis Lincoln Corridor to begin Higher Speed running

My wife and I rode the Texas Eagle last Sunday to SAS and beyond. I timed us at no more than 100 mph (or maybe a bit faster) on some sections.

The maximum permitted speed for Superliners is 100mph, so Texas Eagle is limited to 100mph.

Superliners going 100mph... the idea is crazy to me.

California Cars were based off Superliners and they’re supposed to be good for 125mph.

Amtrak Superliners maximum speeds are 100 MPH, Amtrak Venture maximum speeds are 125 The reason your train didn’t go over 100 MPH. you were on Superliners.

Somewhat off-topic, but does anyone know if the Interurban Trail is closed on the north side of Chatham? Went through there last month on 302 and thought I saw a barricade. Great place to get some exercise and watch Amtrak Chicago-St. Louis trains.
