[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] OK, nationally sourced news media (NBC) is now reporting the train was traveling at 100mph around a curve restricted to 50mph. It is also reported the Engineer has "lawyered up", which is his right. It is further reported that this stretch of the Corridor has not yet been equipped with ASCES, or Amtrak's system of control that qualifies as Positive Train Control. Now what remains as speculation is either the possibility of Engineer negligence (that includes falling asleep) or an equipment failure in the "drive by wire" systems within the ACS-64 locomotive. Unless National media's reporting can be refuted, everything else is speculation that the mature participants at this Forum, choose not to be party to such. [/QB][/QUOTE]
