Long story short, last week after my "serious" operating session, I spent a few minutes with the trains running at full speed - 120MPH for fun! Fun ended when my C&O Yellowbelly rolled over in my 4x4 foot tunnel (with no access ports of course). In my effort to get the railroad back to normal, I had to permanently remove a power feed. Track voltage seems to have no ill effects (tested with multimeter as DCS Track Voltage Test) nor does the DCS signal and I don't think it will be an issue but I thought I'd ask anyway. 

 

Layout photo is below. Size is 4x8. It is an old photo but nothing has changed except the Lionel switch on the mainline has been replaced with a Ross switch as well has some heavy duty ballasting and scenery reworking, part of which forced me to have to remove the power feed - can't get it back without destroying a recently completed 3 month long scenery project. The feed in question is in the center of the tunnel on the main level. Two other feeds for that loop, on in front of the camera, at the station platform, and the other on the siding behind the Power station.
