Question: why is that train going 82 mph is a 30 mph zone?! It’s almost like a slower version of that derailment at Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain back in July 2013.

This reminds me of the Sheboygan Train Tragedy of 1984 when this train derailed going 8mph in a 3 mph curve. The driver apparently fell asleep, and leaned to one side, which along with the speed of the train helped tip it over, the driver, Willie Green, had a skinned hand and a young boy had a skinned knee, matching his other one he got in soccer practice.

Obviously a tragedy on a smaller scale but the same principle.... whatever that is
