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.
The 70 mph ends in Chatsworth....the section where the accident was is 40 mph. I have the timetable in front of me (I am one of those train nuts too)
