There is a speed restriction for that curve "T-30/P-30" so the train should have been traveling at a maximum of 30 mph. I don't have the expertise to tell if the wreckage pattern is consistent with a 30mph derailment. There also is a recording of the [URL=http://komonews.com/news/local/emergency-we-are-on-the-ground-radio-traffic-from-amtrak-train]emergency call from train 501[/URL]. [/QB][/QUOTE]
