NTSB: Metro-North Train Was Speeding At 82 mph When It Derailed

"The train went through the curve just ahead of the station at 82 mph, in a zone where the speed limit drops from 70 mph to 30 mph."

“For a train to be going 82 mph around that curve is just a frightening thought. And the fact that it was going 82 mph even in the 70 mph zone before the curve started raises so many questions, and it’s scary.”
