@lifewitchace2392 Nope. The limit is 75 mph, and all the locomotives have that standard limit (since the older SD40-2's to the newer SD70ACe's and ES44AC's). In fact, not all the tracks are made and designed to run 75 mph or you will be derailed.
@lifewitchace2392 no. No I wouldn’t. Absolutely NO freight train in the United States goes 100 mph. The max speed on most locomotives are 74 MPH, and speed limits don’t exceed 70. Passenger trains are different but I don’t work for amtrak so I couldn’t tell you. But I can tell you about freight.
That is sped up. Look at the clouds... These trains max is about 80. This was prob at 70. Edit: didn’t know that this was gonna blow up but it is quite funny watching the arguments in replies
I love how you can hear the whine of the locomotives’ traction motors as they pass over the first few seconds. Sounds like quite a few locomotives on this one.
@@Snowy-oq4ur yea there were once diesel mechanical locomotives which i believe actaully worked like a car with transmissions and gearboxes like the british rail class 01
And at the speed in which it passes the camera. Those freight locomotives are around 80-85 feet and it passed the camera in less than maybe half a second. So that train to do that would need to be going around 150-180mph to cover that distance in that time. Please note these are estimates since I can't watch shorts frame by frame
Perfect example of Einstein's theory of relativity. The passengers on the train feel little movement, the cars at the railroad crossing wait impatiently for the "slow" train to pass, and to the camera on the tracks, it's going 300mph. It's really fascinating what perspective can do.

“no GE junk locomotive can go that fast” Buddy P42DCs and P32AC-DMs hit 110 regularly in New York, and before the chargers took over P42s sustained 110 in Michigan.
100 percent false. Freights aren't allowed to travel those speeds. 60mph max in North America. Oh and don't caught doing that you will be charged by the railway. They are seriously clamping down on the trespassing with all the fatalities around the tracks. As a railroader involved in a few fatalities in a passenger train please be careful around the tracks. It isn't a nice scene when a human gets hit by a train.
Thank you !!!! Man it’s nice when someone just enjoys a video. It was a timelapse and added the audio of real time. I was bored in between hurricane and tornado season and had no idea it would be one of my biggest videos.

My father was a conductor for Seaboard Coastline in the 70's out of JAX. He always said that on late night runs through the Georgia swamps, they'd operate at max throttle, which he claimed would reach 110. Trains didn't require a governor until the 1987 Maryland crash. They had an overspeed light and buzzer, often disabled, and in fact disabled in the 1987 crash The official limit was 49 since 1951, and raised to 79 later on high speed corridors. But, prior to 1987, the only physical limit was the locomotive's power. Since 1987, the locomotive will limit power and apply brakes ro stay under 79.
As a British person, no offence but the highest speed American train I’ve been on is 80mph. The New York Subway. I have been on all of them I think… I’m not sure.
No offense taken . The train was going 50-55 I had the camera on timelapse mode under and pedestrian 🚶♂️ walk way on the rocks well under the RR ties . Hope you liked it

Ah yes, a little trick called speeding up the footage.
"hit by" is kind of a lie here, but damn, this was still scary
Max speed of a GE freight loco is 70 MPH, 65 for older ones.
Max speed set by the manufacturer on virtually all GE AC locomotives is 75 MPH. Been like that for decades. For EMD it’s almost always 70 MPH.
Seen them at 73 in both IL and NM and confirmed with pacing.
@mkmcclure yea its called overspeed. Just because they do it doesnt mean its legal 😂. They just going for that quit tryna get off the train asap.
You can't convince me that a freight locomotive that isn't designed for fast speeds is able to do just that all of a sudden
Or maybe BNSF improved their locomotives. XD
