TRAIN TRAVELLING AT LEAST 30 MILES ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT AT TIME IT DERAILED - ENGINEER HAS LAWYER PRESENT, REFUSES TO TALK TO POLICE
From Yahoo:
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The engineer at the controls of an Amtrak train that hurtled off the tracks while rounding a sharp curve refused to talk to police Wednesday as the death toll climbed to seven with the discovery of another body in the wreckage, authorities said.
More than 200 people were injured in the derailment that plunged screaming passengers into darkness and chaos Tuesday night.
Investigators recovered the locomotive's data recorder and said they expected it to yield crucial information, including how fast the train was going when it jumped the tracks in an old industrial neighborhood not far from the Delaware River shortly after 9 p.m.
The engineer, who has not been identified, declined to provide a statement to authorities and had an attorney when he left a meeting with investigators, police said.

The train was en route from Washington to New York with 238 passengers and five crew members listed aboard when it lurched to the side and flew off the tracks at a notorious curve not far from the scene of one of the nation's deadliest train wrecks more than 70 years ago.
The speed limit is 70 mph just before the curve and 50 mph along the curve itself, the Federal Railroad Administration said.The Train Appears To Have Been Going At Least 100 MPH Into The Curve
