I live a mile from the CSX tracks in Sebring. I am used to freights come through and the afternoon Amtraks.

Sebring is the intersection of CSX and the US Sugar railway.

Some mornings around 4-5AM I hear a very slow moving train passing and blowing its horn very frequently. I was thinking it might be US Sugar entering or exiting CSX but others tell me it is just a slow moving CSX train. I find that hard to believe is I can't see any reason CSX would be going that slow on that section of tracks.

Anyone shed any light on what I am hearing?
 
What speed restrictions are on that track?
Are there any tight curves?
Does Sebring have a speed limit for trains?
