The Flying Scotsman, a historic steam locomotive, can reach speeds of up to 100 miles per hour (161 kilometers per hour). However, during regular service, it typically operates at lower speeds for safety and efficiency. Its speed record was set in 1934, making it one of the fastest steam locomotives of its time.
