Mike Brotzman General Why are they replacing an equalateral turnout with the regular kind? Aren't equalaterals better? 10/18/2006 11:40:49 PM
Joseph Bundy General The regular kind will allow trains to maintain track speed through the straight side of the turnout. This is particularly important for passenger trains, which will be allowed to run 79 mph through the straight side, instead of slowing down to 50 mph through the current equilateral switches. All the equilateral switches from Cox (in Greensboro) to Junker (north of Charlotte) are being replaced. 11/25/2006 11:45:21 PM
