Have any of you ever replaced a bunch of engines and then had an impossible speed record pop up? Just a tick or two after a raft of engine replacement, I just had a "brand new" Thalys supposedly finish a transcontinental run at an average speed of 2461 mph, about 12 times its maximum speed (and about mach 4).

I am wondering what lapse in programming causes the effect. Maybe some date in the train data is set to the date of replacement, causing the speed calc to fail.
