not particularly quick off the line are they...
Id guess that the acceleration between 70 and 100 plus miles per hour couldnt be very rapid either, but I could be wrong..basing the presumed scale on automotive performance

Two significant takeaways from links are a maximum speed of 125 mph and a time of 8 minutes to attain that speed. It's a lot shorter than that. The time to go from 0 to 125 mph with 8 loaded cars (the wrecked train had 7) is 2:45. The time to go from 70 to 106 mph is just over 45 seconds. View the link at my post #118.
