Someone on trainorders.com who is a C.E. and usually pretty reliable says:

- Train may well have been doing 106MPH in a 60 zone, engineer mistook this nastier curve for another one
- Speed limit is enforced by cab signal indication westbound, but not eastbound.

If that is the case, this is Back Bay, nearly Elizabeth (about 20 years ago), and Spuyten Duyvil all over again.

One Amfleet car was pealed open like a cleaned fish and no longer recognizable. I can't imagine many people or anybody was in that car if there are only 6 dead.
