Chicago-Omaha speed

[edit]

The article says that "the City of Denver covered the Chicago–Omaha portion of its route in 7 hours 26 minutes at an average speed of 75.3 miles per hour", which is supported by Klein. There must be an error in the source, as the distance from Chicago to Omaha on the C&NW was 488 miles, and a 7 hr 26 min. timing converts to 65.7 mph, so Klein's math does not work. (In February 1941 the train was scheduled to cover that distance in 7 hours 41 minutes, Official Guide, Feb. 1941, p. 812, for an average speed of 65.5 mph. Perhaps Klein was using the timing of 7 hours 26 minutes for the 485 miles to Council Bluffs.) Kablammo (talk) 00:36, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
