RE: Amtrak train was 50 mph over the speed limit, National Transportation Safety Board confirms

in #news7 years ago

Usually, trains have safety systems to prevent driving too fast. I'm no expert on American trains, but as a driver for the Belgian railroad company, I know that hi-speed trains use cabin signaling. And usually, those systems include speed limits. If you go too fast, the train brakes automatically.
