What is the fastest speed a train operator can operate inside the shop?

The maximum speed a train operator can operate within the shop is set to ensure safety for personnel and equipment. Operating at a speed of 5 MPH inside the shop allows for greater control of the train and minimizes the risk of accidents or collisions with objects or individuals in the work environment. This speed is typically designated as safe for the confined and busy conditions of a shop, where there may be ongoing maintenance tasks and technicians working in close proximity. Keeping the speed limited to this level helps facilitate safe movement and enhances the overall safety protocol within a train maintenance facility.
