“Amtrak only owns relatively small portion of the 62,000 miles of track in the United States. So they'll be looking and they'll be working with the railroad that actually owns that track and they will become a party to this investigation,” Former NTSB Chairman Mark Rosenker sayspic.twitter.com/eTCnmzL7cH

@NorahODonnell: It reached 78.5 mph traveling between Seattle and Tukwila. After stopping in Tacoma, it sped up to 81 mph before derailment. Rosenker: It may well have been doing its maximum speed. http://cbsn.ws/2oDNSu5 pic.twitter.com/1xwlMgEtNWShow this thread -
“The locomotive will actually have what they call an event recorder. Very similar to a black box in an aircraft. They will be able to get a lot of data from that particular box when it's finally downloaded,” Rosenker says http://cbsn.ws/2oDNSu5 pic.twitter.com/iCz2poTNZX

Resent your interrupting the Price Is Right for news that can be covered at Noon. Interrupt in Washington State ONLY. No need for the east coast to know Immediately about this West Coast happening. Ridiculous

thankful it was not at capacity, ATcar embedded below underpass (no fire) into the orange tractor/trailer very well may have saved road lives, these cargo tracks are not 4 speed, heavy cargo trains lossen tracks...
