The FASTEST I've EVER gone on a steel-wheeled vehicle was on 21.  We were 
commin'off Stratford at 90+ plus.  As we headed down toward the IC overhead 
bridge I noticed that the "trusty" Engineer had not shut the throttle down, as 
was the custom, but, instead, hollered, "hey kid - - come-ere and lookit THIS"  
"THIS" referred to the two electric speed indicators mounted on the non-speed 
recorder equipped E5's.  BOTH needles were bouncin' off the "peg", the "peg" 
bein' the one BEYOND the 100 mark.  TWO miles a minuet !!!!  I'm sure the depot 
at Polo lost half the shingles off the roof as we passed by.

They're currently "studyin" high speed, intercity rail service in DC.  I think 
they need ta look BACKWARD in time !!!!
