From what I’ve read, the speed limit on that track section in general is 70 mph. The speed limit at the curve where the train derailed is 50 mph. That train was going too fast even before it hit the curve. There may be sections of the line rated for 100 mph or more, but it was not so rated in the area of the crash.
