A passenger train passes a certain station at 60 kmph, and covers a distance of 12 km with this speed and then stops at next station 15 km from the first, with uniform retardation. A local train, starting from the first station covers the same distance in double this time and stop at the next station. Determine the maximum speed of the local train which covers a part of the distance, with uniform acceleration and the rest with uniform retardation. Express your answer in km and hr.
