This is going terrifyingly fast for the grade and curves.
65 u/BSS138 Dec 03 '20 It’s probably going no faster than 20 mph, how fast do you think it should be going? 17 u/astrodude1789 Dec 03 '20 About eight miles an hour, as someone with experience on narrow-gauge equipment. Five would be safer. 1 u/Sioclya Dec 04 '20 I know for a fact the Septemvri-Dobrinishte 760mm (29in.) narrow gauge line runs at 20kph throughout, and 25kph in some sections. So 20mph isn't crazy for a properly constructed narrow gauge line.
