RE: Train Derailment in Seattle - who is at fault?
Did they ever determine if the train struck something before derailing? Also, I've seen the number 81 MPH tossed around when their max allowed speed is 79 MPH. Did the section of track recommend much less than that? Your comment is the first time I've seen that disparity in allowed speed vs. how fast the train was going.
Section of track was 30 mph, which is what caused the derailment around a curve.
