    Just curious how many of you can do this activity with minimum air braking down the pass. I was able to do it with just a minimum reduction from the brake pipe and keep it below 15 down the pass on the steepest parts of the grade. Curious how many of you have done the same.

    Oh man, I remember doing 10 mph the whole way down with a grain train. Couldn’t risk going much faster lol

    irl heavy trains go like 20 mph down the pass but it depends on what train it is
