Anything from 186mph for the fastest trains in Europe & Japan to 20mph or less for sharp curves and 5mph for moving around yards, depots etc.Election has nothing to do with good governance?
that depends on here the train is. A nyc subway does between 20+40 mph while the amtrak acella can go over a 100 in some spot along the linethat depends on where they are. there are high speed trains that can go over 200 miles an hour.
in some surface crossing that is road crossing places it is very slow. and there is a limit on how long the train can tie up the road for based on its length and the speed it may travel.
once it gets up north where there are fewer crossings the trains become huge miles long and travel fast. i have seen trains that must have been going 60 miles and hour and took over 30 minutes to pass. this is way up north .
there is a difference too in the speed based on what kind of train it is passenger or cargo and what cargo as well
its not as simple as car speed limits.
if you are concerned about the speed a train goes near you i suggest you go to the nearest lighted crossing and there you will find a number for the rail people who could tell you the speed length and all other regulations about that point on the track

Any speed you like, as long as you've got safe track. In the USA, 49 CFR 213 defines what "safe track" is... want to go faster, get a waiver. (that means showing the government that what you're doing is safe.)What would you do to make Indian Railways more safer to travel?
In the old days, 49 CFR 213 defined six classes of track quality - class 1 (10 mph) to class 6 (110 mph)... and Amtrak got a waiver for 125 mph.
Now they've defined class 7 (125), class 8 (160) and class 9 (200). Want faster, get a waiver.
