CONDUCTOR CHECKS HIS WATCH TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH TIME REMAINS AT THE BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS, STOP ON THE TURBOLINER RUN BETWEEN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, AND CHICAGO. THE FRENCH BUILT TRAIN IS CAPABLE OF SPEEDS UP TO 125 MILES PER HOUR, BUT NORMALLY RUNS NO FASTER THAN 79. MANY OF THE AMTRAK PASSENGER TRAINS RUN SLOWER THAN THEIR CAPABILITIES BECAUSE THE NATION'S RAILROADS NEED TO UPGRADE TRACK AND ROADBED, June 1974 #Documerica
And here we are, 50 years later, and they still need to upgrade the tracks. 😐

I knew someone who worked at Amtrak and said there is a big problem with people putting shit on tracks because they think it would be hilarious to derail a train, too.
