Amtrak derailment

[Byker]

80 mph in a 30 mph zone.

Certain song lyrics come to mind: https://tinyurl.com/y8tnavld

I wonder if the engineer was an Affirmative Action hire?

I'm wondering how the train got 50mph over the
limit ... didn't exactly look like a 'bullet train'. What's
the limit anyway 25mph ? Tracks must be in FINE
shape for a limit that low ....

My guess, this route got approved because a lot
of officials/inspectors were paid off.

Corruption runs deep in Puget Sound transit...

The trains and tracks are okay for 80 mph in straightaways, but the
curve onto the bridge is marked for 30 mph. If you see the images, it
is quite a tight bend. Somebody farked up big time.
