    It may not be 100% accurate and some may be wrong but I've tried my best (I don't own many routes so I've had to use other source). Each is rounded to the nearest multiple of 5.

    I have not included third party routes because they have their own aspirations.

    Some routes are tied with each other due to having the same with 1hr 30-minute duration. Top is Penninsula Corridor 1hr 40. Sand Patch Grade can also reach 2hr if the Weather were to be set to Rain/Snow. In the future San Francisco San Jose 1hr 40 trips can be surpassed by Hollandstrecke Duisburg-Oberhausen-Arnhem Amsterdam via Utrecht where 2hr 3 ICE 3M From Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen and 2hr 10 ÖBB Nightjet trips if made distance is 125mi 200 km.

    I'm lucky to hit 2 hours in SPG in nice weather, except for the easy helper return runs.

    It's the rough length of the longest lasting service.

    The 90 minutes quoted in the timetable for the services is inaccurate and impossible (without speeding excessively) because to do it in 90 minutes you would need to drive at the passenger speed limits and be able to always hit line speed quickly like the AI trains do. In reality when you drive a service you can’t accelerate as quickly and you have to stick to the freight speed limits, plus the setup time that AI trains don’t need. On some services you can’t even reach line speed on uphill sections with the power you have so a service can easily take as long as 150 minutes.

    It’s the same on Clinchfield, the player has no chance of doing a service as quickly as the AI, so the times on that are all out too.

    Nice list. Thank you for sharing. It gives a good view of how long a route really is. It should be measured in travelling time, not in km.

    I hope they do the route via Utrecht - there is an amazing railway museum there, so all kinds of possibilities.
