@Big Jim I wasn't sure because I can remember hearing the clickity-clack on the CSX lines near Youngstown, OH but I haven't paid close attention to it in years. Or maybe that isn't actually a mainline.

@c.sam posted:
He said 'the telephone poles literally looked like a picket fence' and they estimate that they were traveling in excess of 130 mph!

Sounds to me like he was driving a Hot Rod Lincoln haha But that's pretty cool I don't know much about the T1's but they're definitely of interest to me now.

@GG1 4877 That's awesome that you got to see steam at high speed like that! I've experienced diesel at probably 35MPH? I guess? It was enough that I could feel the ground rumble but steam would be incredible at that speed. Maybe one day I'll catch it somewhere!
