"YONKERS, N.Y. — The National Transportation Safety Board says a train that derailed in New York City was traveling 82 mph as it approached a 30 mph zone." "The Metro-North Railroad commuter train jumped the tracks Sunday morning along a sharp curve where the speed limit drops from 70 mph to 30 mph. Four passengers died." (From The Associated Press).
Knowing the MTA, this guy is toast! However, this is the same general area as the previous train derailment back in June.
THE WASHINGTON POST reported today that the operator had "nodded"off and was "in a daze" until just seconds before the derailment.
