Monorail Blue needs to stay 10-7. And take Orange and Red with it.

Hey, I like Orange... when the brakes aren't really, really loose once you get out of dynamic braking...
But Red... Wow. I drove her yesterday for the first time in months. Red likes to be on the Epcot line, sometimes it will do Express as a favor... but when you put her on the Resort line, she fights you tooth and nail the whole way around the beam. I haven't had so many overspeeds since my first month out of drive training!
And I do get overspeeds. A lot of them, too, because I like to experiment with the braking system as I come into stations. Often I am successful, but sometimes not so much.

Which ones are considered the "good trains"?
As to the overspeeds are they legit by definition or does Red give out false ones, like for example getting an overspeed going 25mph in a 30 zone?

Does the 'tug' work about the same as a monorail?

Well it's diesel powered rather than electric and it's a 3 speed :D:

It has a diesel motor, so they can pull the trains off in case of an outage.

Do Monorail Pilots get warnings from management for overspeeds? Ok, a bit stupid, but I've never asked. :)

I think a couple certain drivers would not be driving anymore if that were the case :)

If it was anything like VOCP, you'd be out of Monorails on the first day of drive training. I seem to remember hearing about the old-skool disciplinary measures against overspeeds and deadman switch stops, but they supposedly stopped counting them because of the high turnover rate of CMs. No idea of the credability of that rumor, but to answer your question... no.
