Hello everyone

 

Limit speed on freight or passenger train on branch lines on 1990s

It would really depend on a number of variables:

 

Era/Time Period

Which particular branch

How the permanent way was laid (distance between sleepers, etc.)

Tightness of curves

level crossings, guarded, unguarded, etc

The list kind of goes on I would think.

 

The speed limit may also be variable based on which engine or unit was being driven.

 

All the above being teh case, can you give us some more information?

Always think the line down to Coombe Junction looks like a train set with its tight curves and the elevated view you get from Liskaerd Viaduct. Got to go for a ride down there sometime.

It is a really nice slow meander alongside the river.
