Very long ethanol train headed west.

Just spotted about a 100 car ethanol train pass langhorne at probably 65 mph. Had 2 foreign/leased power units on front, one was marked as CP, both were worn paint & red. Will post video later this evening when I get home.

It sounded like only a few cars had anything in them.

65mph? That crew would be OOS and fired if the tapes were pulled, so I highly doubt your claim of speed. Most likely 50mph. 60 is the max and its only for TOFC/COFC.

Just a rough estimate, not a "claim"!

Could have been a unit oil train, too, particularly with CP power.

Let's try not to "estimate" speeds on here..........no one knows who reads what on here, so we don't
need to potentially create hard-ships for anyone.

Just saying,
