So, are you presuming that the speed limit on the sections for track BEFORE you get to the junction where the crash occurred is OVER 100 MPH ? I ask, because I don't know. I think it would be important to know that.

It looks like the speed limit for the stretch before the curve was 110mph reducing down to 70mph as the train approaches the curve and 50mph on the curve. It looks as if the train was doing 106mph, according to NTSB. They have not said yet, at what point, 110mph zone, 70mph zone or 50mph zone, it was doing this speed.

where do you see the speed limit of 100 before the curve. these tracks are in the city. About 6 miles from the station. just curious cuz i’ve taken the train and it seems to go slow for a long time before it gets moving. somewhere along I95 and it doesn’t go much faster than traffic.
