I could change it, the wheel diameter, the number of cars in the linkage and a whole lot of other parameters...but I don't. Some lines are set at 40 mph, others at 50 mph. Headway and track conditions set the maximum speed...trainsets are no longer allowed to line up bumper to bumper (anticlimber.) This isn't rapid transit, just mass transit that moves a phenomenal amount of passengers to keep our city alive. Sometimes I feel I could do better on my Razor-type scooter...proved it out on my last job servicing digital video photo machines. Responses
