'Just about as fast as the real ones' LOL. that looks like an LNER A4 4468, AKA MAllard that held the locomotive sped record at 126mph in the 1930's and regualrly saw in service speeds over 90mph before WWII. I'm not sure of the terminal velocity of a brick, but it may be slower than a real Mallard.

Looks like about 210 mph.

A few years back, Texas State Railroad picked a switch with a passenger car going onto a passing siding. They ran the passenger car into the train on the other track, with passengers aboard both trains. That's what happens when the state shuffles employees around their park services and has people working on a state-owned park railroad with no railroad experience. The guy threw the switch before the last truck on the last car cleared it ebcause he had no clue what he was doing.

Old Mallard is going to lose that record in a few years when the boys in Pennsylvania finish recreating that Pennsylvania Railroad T1. They're taking it out to the FRA high-speed test facility and fully intend to break the record. There are plenty of accounts of engineers hitting 120mph in regular service back in the day, so she has the potential.

I've had that one saved on my phone for a while because it cracks me up, but I didn't feel like going through and doing the editing to post it here.

I sent it to some friends a while back but didn't post it here. The editing was worth the time.
