[QUOTE]Originally posted by RRCHINA: [QB] There are eight (8) speed restrictions in the 100 mile distance between GC and Lamar. In order going west they are 45 mph (at GC); 75 mph; 80 mph; 70 mph; 75 mph; 70 mph; 75 mph and 60 mph (at Lamar). At these locations speed must be reduced in advance so that the designated reduced speed is in play when entering the limits being controlled. Acceleration can only occur after the rear car in the consist is out of the controlled area. So we can see that 60 mph maximum can now be maintained throughout the 100 miles. Now given the stops at GC and Lamar the one hour and forty minutes is 19 minutes longer under optimum conditions. [/QB][/QUOTE]
