Answer: 20 mph
Feedback:
Since the train crew is on the main track and shoving in the authorized direction, the crew is allowed to shove at a speed not exceeding 20 mph. Although shoving at 20 mph is allowed, the crew members need to move at a speed that allows them to protect the shove to avoid any incidents.
