>>1423097>I doubt itThen you're delusional. They definitely didn't do it regularly but the 100 mph barrier was broken before the turn of the century (1900). It would have been ludicrous and unheard of to buy a passenger locomotive in the 30s and 40s that COULDN'T go 100 mph. Standard speed was 70-80 mph, but the locomotives were all expected to go about 100mph when pushed. It's likely that only slow freight locomotives were rated at top speeds below 100. You're being obtuse for reasons I don't fully understand, but rest assured you are wrong.
