Why is it especially important to keep a consistent, moderate speed when pulling triples through a series of curves, rather than varying speed a lot?

Pick an answer

1. Repeated speeding up and slowing down through curves can build up sway in the rear trailers rather than letting it settle
2. Varying speed actually helps cancel out sway in longer combinations
3. Speed variation through curves has no effect on trailer behavior
4. Consistent speed is only a fuel-economy consideration, not something that affects handling at all and has nothing to do with how the trailers actually behave
