Re: what is a 38"s theoretical top speed?



Is Sydney Harbour Bridge 50 m above water level?
A derailed 38 would be reach about 110 km/h before splashing.  If it
derailed at 110 km/h, it would lancing into the water at 145 km/h.
Patrons of a farewell tour to a 38 on a mainline in early 1970 claimed
above 130 km/h, but this has never been verified.
