an instructor engineer, and another engineer who was learning the territory and qualifying to operate the train along the route.

Trainee: "So, this is a 30 mph zone?"
Instructor: "That's right."
Trainee: "Would it be alright if I opened up to, like, 80 mph?"
Instructor: "I don't see why not. Go for it, dude!"

I used to take a subway to work, getting on at an endpoint. As such, it's a benefit to get on the last car inbound, as well as the last car outbound given the egresses. Otherwise first car outbound...

One morning the train would get up to speed, then stop. Kept happening a number of times, before the ride passed for normal.

I met a coworker getting off the same train, and he told me he was running late, so he headed to the second station down the line, to boarded there, at the front of the train. He said at a couple of stations down, an older subway worker joined the train operator in the cab, and there were no more unexpected stops.

We figured a newly authorized operator, tripping the speed limiter. Or at least unfamiliar with that line.
