Investigators are learning more about the speeding Amtrak train that derailed in Philadelphia, killing eight and sending over 200 to the hospital, but the jury is still out on the big questions.

Why did the train accelerate as it approached a curve? Did the engineer cause the train to speed up, or was there a mechanical failure? Was there something about the track that caused the crash? ...

Mechanical or that hypnotized effect that happens to people on roads.

The train was doing a legal 80 mph approaching the curve. The curve had a speed limit of 50 mph.

I wonder if the engineer accidently accelerated instead of decelerated. He did apply the brakes when he saw his speed had increased, but it was too late.

He could have been in that trance like state you can get when following a line - you are in a hypnotic state and it could hit as you are slowly accelerating and before you know it you are going too fast to slow down. That is why computers should take over rail engineering. It's on rails - not a highway with bobbing and weaving traffic to worry about. We don't need humans anymore to drive these things.
