Well, I'm riding on this train- I've got tears in my eyes.. Trying to lead a letter from my home. If this train runs me right, I'll be home tomorrow night, 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home, And I'd hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow. Well this train I ride on, is a hundred coaches long. You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles. If this train runs me right, I'll be home tomorrow night, 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home, And I'd hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow. Now if you say so, I will railroad no more. Sidetrack my train, and go home. If this train runs me right, I'll be home tomorrow night, 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home, And I'd hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow. 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home, And I'd hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow! (youre welcome)
because of one man: the pro-scrapping mentality of then-NYC President Alfred E. Perlman, who ordered that every NYC Hudsons and Niagaras be scrapped. :(

For a Train to cover 900 miles within twenty-four hours it should at the very least be an Express or better, at very least one of the famed'n'named ones? or am I mistaken
The train would have to be going at ~60km/h or ~37.25mph to cover 900 miles in a max time frame of 24hrs. For a train going at 180 km/h (~111mph, typical top speeds of locomotives during the 1930’s), it would take barely over 8hrs to go 900 miles. Finally, if the New York Central Hudson was going at its known top speed of 197.75km/h (~123 mph), it could go the 900 mile distance in just under 7 1/3hrs (see the NYC Hudson wiki for its speed). Edit: that is if it didn’t stop whatsoever.
