Greetings Mário!
I apologize for how long it has taken me to get to your email. I've sent a
copy of your email to the BRHSlist where there are many folks who will be
willing to answer your questions.
It's always exciting to hear from Burlington fans from outside of the United
States. Be sure to explore the BRHS web site at

Subject: Questions About CB&Q
Dear Sirs
I am a Portuguese railfan interrested in the north american railroad reality
presently expoliting the cB&Q network, facts and figures.
I have several doubts that I would like to solve if possible.
1 - What was the maximum speed permitted for passenger trains in Burlington
Lines. I've noticed pretty elevated average speeds in several sections, for
example 80 mph between Aurora and Oregon, Ill (by the Morning Zephyr I
suppose).
2 - Were there any special cab signals systems installed, and also any
special braking systems in the trains ?
Kind Regards
Mário Vieira
