My most vivid memory is parting the weeds that had grown up in the track well above top-of-rail hieght at a very high rate of speed, blowing alomst continuously for the many crossings protected only by crossbucks. I am not sure how fast we were going. The line did not have block signals so was limited to 59 mph by FRA rule, but the crews solved that minor problem by breaking the speedometers! I would guess we were doing about 70mph.
