The trains aren’t going that fast there. I take it twice everyday. At that stretch the train goes 30 or so. The train would have left the Chatsworth station about 2 minutes prior to the crash.
Thanks. That would have been my take mostly because there are several ninety degree bends in the track near there. Still, there are some people who have been saying the trains go about 70 on that stretch of track. I can’t honesly imagine that.
The Conductor wouldn’t know the exact speed. He could give a pretty good guess, but he is doing other things and might not be noticing the speed very much, unless it was outside the normal speed considerably.
That would be my take on it.
