makes sense to me. trains dont have to deal with as much traffic, or as many redlights. occassionally, they have to wait for another train to get out of the way, but not nearly as much as i wait for the stupid fuckers around here to get out of my way. 
one of these days im gonna run someone over

trains dont need to stop, they have their own tracks. my dad has been working for CSX for about 25 years and one of his main jobs is scheduling the trains so that they dont have to stop for each other at track crossings. it does happen occasionally though, especially when a train is approaching a yard. they sometimes have to wait for the yard to clear.
trains run about 40-50 mph pretty consistently once they get up to speed.

only if your name is doc and you have crazy white hair. why? you want to time travel?
the freight trains my dad runs go about 40-50 due to the conditions of most commercial tracks. passenger trains run faster than those, they get up around 80 or so

I'm sure the train will go slower speed wise but it is probably much more of a direct route.
