Junee.

Well aren't 81's limited by their gear ratio, just like all locomotives???

My recollection here is that (to use the imperial messurements) is 83
MPH!!!!!

Thats a little short of 140km/h isn't it????

Look David, don't take this personally as I'm sure your post was in good
faith, but 140 km/h is pure bullshit, I assure you. I've been at this game
over 36 years & worked in NSW, Victoria and SA and I just don't believe
it!!!!!!!!!
