Off topic, trainy update: The latest news is that someone failed to slow down from 80 to 30...and what else does a train driver have to do?...speed up, slow down, blow horn, track mile marker, not abuse brake air, make sure engines don't blow up...but that was too much for we flawed human beings. Maybe we need to be pointing more...Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

(DOF = degrees of freedom: Train = speed. Plane = speed + vertical speed + sideslip + pitch + roll + yaw)

The lead locomotive’s event data and video recorders were successfully downloaded with the manufacturer’s assistance and processed in the NTSB’s lab in Washington, D.C. An initial review of the final portion of the accident sequence revealed the following information, which is preliminary and subject to change as the investigation continues:
* Inward-facing video with audio captured the crew’s actions and their conversations. A forward-facing video with audio captured conditions in front of the locomotive as well as external sounds.
* The crew was not observed to use any personal electronic devices during the timeframe reviewed.
* About six seconds prior to the derailment, the engineer made a comment regarding an over speed condition.
* The engineer’s actions were consistent with the application of the locomotive’s brakes just before the recording ended. It did not appear the engineer placed the brake handle in emergency-braking mode.
* The recording ended as the locomotive was tilting and the crew was bracing for impact.
* The final recorded speed of the locomotive was 78 mph.
