The round trip from King St in Waterloo to Erb St in Elmira (yes, there is an Erb St up there) takes about 2 hours (or one hour one-way). This would not include any stops to pick up or drop off cars. Track speed is defined by the track geography and condition. The track condition doesn't really allow for anything above 15 mph.
Dropping off and/or picking cars is a fairly complicated process depending on which cars need to be dropped off or collected. The first problem is "where are they" (ie are they the last in line, behind some other ones) and then next is the puzzle of pushing and pulling while leaving enough time for air brakes to charge throughout the whole trainset before it is moved each time.
