Well the engineer on this ethanol train has finally taken the throttle out of 8. This is usually the 1st spot since leaving Waterloo where the train will run faster than 50 mph. That's 17 miles with the speedo reading between 18-50 mph, just depends on where your train is at on all the hogbacks. As you can see here the 75 loads out of Arthur, IA are all on the downhill. This train is 255 miles from Chicago, IL, its destination.
