Yes, I'm sure that is more pertinent to level ground. I am "dinged" with
delaying a train if I drive too slowly, but it is after the fact when they
read the tapes from the black box back in Fort Worth, Texas. When I refer
to overspeed I am talking about safely operating a 7-10,000 ton train on a
downhill grade over 12 miles. As we say, "It's not a race to the bottom".
You just want to get there safely. After that I am tasked with driving
at the legal operating limit dictated by maximum track speed, any speed
restrictions due to track condition, track repair gangs, etc.
