Fred 3 is correct!!!!!
The distance is approximately 1 mile (or around 5,300 feet) with 550 volts
in line.
I was under negative influence of the Westinghouse specification containing
incorrect speed-distance curves and I misinterpreted one of the curves from
TRC (and also PCC book) speed-distance chart.
Big sorry!
