Washington Trains
A general Thread about the Railway System of Washington. What do you like / not like about the Washington Trains? How do you rate the safety of Washington Trains to prevent Train Crashes?
An Amtrak train that derailed south of Seattle Monday and killed at least three people was going more than 80 mph moments before it entered a curve where the recommended speed tops out at 30 mph, authorities confirmed. The speed around the corner is likely to be a key point for federal accident investigators, who are trying to determine how the train - on its inaugural run - flew off the rails, causing several rail cars to plunge from an overpass and onto a traffic-clogged interstate.
