Answer: Restricted speed
Feedback:
The maximum speed when shoving in the direction authorized is 20 mph for freight trains. This train has Track and Time and therefore authority to move in both directions. When shoving, it is in the direction authorized. However, the Track and Time is joint. Movements within joint authority must be made at restricted speed regardless of the direction authorized.
