Amtrak crews are coming off of another night of work to restore service between philadelphia and new york by tuesday, which would be one week after the deadly derailment in port richmond. This new timeline comes ton same day that officials with the federal Railroad Administration have ordered amtrak to make immediate changes. The first is for amtrak to put the automatic train control system into effect for northbound trains approaching the frankford curve. Thats where train 188 derailed. The system helps control a trains speed and it can make the train stop if it is speeding. Second, the feds want amtrak to assess the risk on curves along the entire northeast corridor from washington to boston. Also amtrak must increase the number of speed limit signs on the tracks. Amtrak says that it will abide by the immediate order. Passengers tell us it will make them feel safer. I think its essential. I think anything that would stop an accident like this would be great. The nbc 10 investigators have learned that this Hightech System for stopping a train, automatic train control, has long been installed on southbound tracks coming from new york. A decision was made at one point not to install it on the northbound side. Again, that is going to change with this emergency order from the feds. Ntsb officials have said that if this automatic train control system was in place, it would have prevented the deadly derailment on tuesday. The broken corridor thats what some Railroad Officials and supporters are calling amtraks northeast rail system. Stations along the corridor include boston new york philadelphia wilmington, baltimore and washington. The tracks handle 2,000 trains every day, but the railway is decaying, with trains lumbering through tunnels and across bridges more than a century old. Even the electrical grid that powers the trains dates back to the great depression. By one estimate, it would take more than 20 billion just to replace parts that have already outlasted their intended usage. In terms of the investigation of the deadly derailment heres where it stands. The fbi is now looking at the cracked windshield of the amtrak engine. The question is did a flying object hit the windshield just before it derailed tuesday night . Objects hit both a septa train and an amtrak acela train that night, right around the same time, in the same area and caused window damage. Nbc news interviewed a passenger on the acela train. He says that the window of his rail car shattered. We heard a loud noise in the car, and immediately, i looked over and there was a the window had shattered, and apparently, there was a rock thrown at our car. The ntsb says Brandon Bastian, the engineer of the derailed amtrak train, cannot remember events in the minutes leading up to the crash. According to the ntsb bastian told them he only remembers ringing the toll bell at the old north philadelphia station. You can count on nbc 10 for complete coverage of the deadly derailment on nbc10. Com and on our nbc 10 news app. You can also read more about the lives of the victims and the history of Train Derailments in our area. From our jersey shore bur roe investigators are looking boo sapphire that gutted a popular boardwalk shop just one week before the unofficial start of summer. The fire ripped through the summer surf shop last night. The blaze broke out around 8 00 last night. Fire crews had it under control in less than an hour. One worker who was inside managed to get out safely. I said ive been a part of this place for 10 or 11 years now and worked here every summer so its tough to see. The hard part is with boardwalk businesses right now, theyre all loading up for the holiday weekend, so theres a lot of merchandise in there that is obviously destroyed at this point, but also fueled the fire. Firefighters say neighboring businesses sustained some smoke damage. Employees of the surf shop tell us that they will reopen. New this morning, Philadelphia Police have arrested two suspects who allegedly robbed a man of 13,000 in casino winnings.

Getting your gas in new jersey you dont have to pump it yourself. That could change. The proposal would allow selfservice at the gas pumps.

A quick note for drivers who travel i95 the speed limit is going up on the stretch of the roadway in delaware. Starting tomorrow youll see crews changing the speed limit signs. That work will continue through thursday. The state department of transportation is increasing the speed limit from 55 to 65 miles an hour, from the i495 split south of wilmington to the maryland state line. A deldot study shows most drivers are already at 65 miles an hour in this area. State Officials Say the higher speed limit would free up police to concentrate on more aggressive drivers. Next as many get ready for memorial day weekend at the beach, theres something fishy in the water that could keep visitors away. Yes, a giant shark. Well explain why Officials Say its not dangerous to swimmers. Plus the paddle in seattle. Well tell you what brought all of these boaters out to the bay this weekend, thats after the break.
