In non-signaled DCS territory, does the speed limit apply to both passenger and freight trains?

• A. Yes, 59 mph for passenger and 49 mph for freight
• B. No, only passenger trains
• C. No, only freight trains
• D. Yes, 60 mph for passenger and 50 mph for freight

Answer: (A)

In non-signaled DCS territory, speed limits apply to both passenger and freight trains because there are no signals to indicate different speeds. The rules set specific maximums for this territory: 59 mph for passenger trains and 49 mph for freight trains. This ensures consistent safety margins for braking and stopping with no signaling guidance, regardless of train type. The other options would imply either only one train type is restricted or use different numbers, which isn’t how this territory is governed.
