This must be the driver that was bragging about going over the speed limit, and took a picture of the speedometer to prove it...

There are many points on the route where those speeds are allowed. The crash site, however, was not one of those.

Those gentle highway curves were built for 70mph traffic but they get considerably sharper at 150mph or so.
The problem is that in a train you can’t drift across the lanes to ease the lateral forces.
