QR Tilt Train



According to reliasble sources today, the tilt train has run to the
Coast twice to record the track into its memory and to test its
tilting mechanism at high speed on the few curves the line has.

Unconfirmed reports say that the train has possibly topped 200 kph. It
is expected that a speed record will be attempted at some time in the
future as many in the raiilways and elsewhere are suggesting it be
done.

Sections of track are being investigated as possible sites for a
record speed attempt.

Cheers
