How to reduce the NTSB probe, also appeared larger questions about the State of the railway lines in the country--such as whether security flaws on Tuesday on fatal accident helped the nation the busiest sections of passenger rail.
In return, Amtrak Chief Executive, speed control systems, promised to install known as positive train control, over the entire border between Washington and Boston by the end of the year. Said Amtrak service between Philadelphia and New York could resume early next week.

Investigators, meanwhile, fought piece together, the train's final moments - including, why it went down in a curved section to more than double the speed limit, and why the technicians do not slower.
"There is a lot of work that needs to be done and will be done," Sumwalt said. "Could this crash caused the speed alone? That is certainly part of the analysis, which is exactly what we want to know. Why make this train derail?"

"He was pretty beat up," the lawyer Robert Goggin, told ABC News, adding that the engineer - whom he identified Queens as Brandon Bostian, 32, – has multiple wounds to the leg and head.

"He has by his concussion, absolutely no memory at all of the events" Goggin said. He said he believes that the engineer can return memory as soon as the head injury subsides.
Although the engineer the emergency brake was not applied quickly enough and the Washington to New York train off the Rails in a jumble of wrenched metal, geblasen-Out Windows, and bloody survivors fight through dark, try, easy snap their way with mobile phones.
Goggin said Bostian State not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and his cell phone was off and stored in a bag - per regulations. He also said that Bostian agreed to give a blood sample to authorities.

Bostian was questioned by police in the so-called Nutter "pretty short interview." Nutter said Bostian "apparently hinted that he didn't want to be interviewed."
But the mayor said Bostian "not be interviewed, if he doesn't want to be at this particular time. That is how the system works."
