Nice! Philly does the same thing.

SEPTA: Broad St Line: Ridge Spur from Erie to Olney (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq4yGcdilGc#)

I have a speed watch video but the fastest it went was 56 mph. Usually they go about 60-70 mph here in Philadelphia

Remember the R44 max speed is 88 mph.

The max speed of the R44s is not 88 mph. That speed was achieved on a test run with very high quality track, brand new trains, and most importantly, field shunting enabled.
