Looks like about 40 mph through the Old Orchard Beach station. Did Pan Am freights ever go that fast?

[@newpylong]

Yes - because the Portland Division was maintained on someone else's dime.

@@newpylong Yes- and Timothy Mellon moved spent and unspent nuclear fuel on his track that was not well maintained

[@newpylong]

@@Longdongsilver53 Irrelevant as it met FRA standards for the speed the movements were making.

@@newpylongexactly. It’s irrelevant and he’s obviously clueless

[@Longdongsilver53]

Is the new track at Rigby for intermodal- maybe Eimskip-or just more room for the same freight?
