A question for SubTalk...

What is the normal operating speed of a train that is pulling into a station? Frank from San Francisco mentioned BART trains move at up to 36 miles per hour within stations, using less speed under adverse weather or equipment conditions. What's the norm with other systems?

Also, does anyone know the speeds for heavy-rail passenger lines? How fast do commuter and Amtrak trains approach station platforms?

Thanks in advance,
Brandon
