I read somewhere this morning that they think the train was going 81 mph. Looks true.

I am currently 14 minutes away from home. I can't remember the last time I was this excited to be on my way home.

No. Because when the 20 parties involved are forced to foot the bill for all the material and personal damage caused by failure to adopt the tech, voila, the numbers suddenly make sense.

It was all freshly laid track with long stretches designed for high speed. We don't know if there was any showboating involved but it's easy to see how someone both unfamiliar and inattentive could easily burn that corner. Track makes a sharp 'S' at the end of a loooooong straight.

This isn't the first train to derail due to speed in recent years, and I'm not entirely sure what solution came out of the last one. |

I mistyped. What I meant to say was, I'm fairly certain I've only talked about getting engaged since after I was home last. Not moving too fast on this, as I want to get it as close to perfect for her as I possibly can.
