I don't troll this N/G but I do remember working on British Railways
when propelling was not allowed above 40mph. I expect I'll now get
some egghead to troll me, but this was always the case when working
tender first.

I guess the tenders didn't like speeds similar to 100 mph while running
first. However, they managed to order trains without tenders.

Secondly, there was a power car in front of the train when it hit the
obstacle.
