Investigators are preparing to quiz the engineer and other crew members from a fatal train derailment as questions mounted as to why a safety system designed to prevent such incidents was not in operation. Bella Dinh-Zarr, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), confirmed the Amtrak train on a new route between between Seattle to Portland was travelling at 80mph – 50mph faster than it was supposed to be – when it left the tracks. The train accident that just occurred in DuPont, WA shows more than ever why our soon to be submitted infrastructure plan must be approved quickly.
