Speed is an early focus of the investigation into last night's derailment of Amtrak Regional train 188, which injured scores of passengers and killed six. WPVI-TV in Philadelphia reports that the event recorder was found and taken to Delaware for examination, and that the train's engineer has been interviewed. NTSB investigators are on the scene, and the death toll is expected to climb, sources say, when an overturned Amfleet car is raised by a crane this morning. Rescuers fear there may be additional victims found beneath that wreckage.The curve at Frankford Junction is said to have a speed restriction of 50 MPH, according to local news reports. |
