The LIRR timetable showed 80 mph for DE/DMs a few years ago. Has the limit dropped?

The conversation I mentioned took place in 2007. He didn't say they actually ran the switchers 100 mph, just that they were geared for it.

He said the MP15s were geared 57:20? Even tho their timetable maximum is 65 or whatever it is?
