We have stabbed the following investigative groups. Mechanical, operations and performance, signals, track and survival facto factors. Investigators examined the locomotive and passenger cars. The examination included the collection and inspection of maintenance records. At this time no anomalies have been found. Additional equipment inspections will be conducted tomorrow to include train braking systems. Prior to arriving on scene, the ntsb secured signal system equipment for our investigation activities on scene. At the same time, we secured recorded information from the amtrak Communication System for our review and examination which has begun. There is a large amount of data to be look at from these activities. The track group has identified the point of impact at mile post 15. 7 which is just north of the booth street underpass. The track and Engineering Group will begin interviewing employees at the work crew tomorrow. Survival factors investigators documented the equipment damage and will be testing emergency systems such as the public address system and emergency lighting tomorrow. Investigators in the ntsb lab reviewed the event recorder da data. The event recorder data was of good quality and recorded up to the point of collision. The engineer placed the train into emergency approximately five seconds from the end of the recording. Speed at that time was 106 Miles Per Hour and the track speed at that location is 110 Miles Per Hour. The forward facing video was of good quality. Captured in color and contained audio. The video recorded up to the collision. The video shows that there was Construction Equipment on the track and work train equipment on the track immediately adjacent to the amtrak trains track. Well take some questions at this time. You say it was on the track adjacent. Then how did the collision the impact, did that backhoe move off at add yea sent track and get on to the main track. Again let me state what our investigators in the lab in d. C. Stated from the forward facin fg video. Video shows there was Construction Equipment on the track. And work train equipment on the track immediately adjacent to the amtrak trains track. So is that equipment on the track, backhoe obviously and cabbies fifty eight and rail on the track . The backhoe was on the track where the amtrak train was traveling. That train was in the right place where it was supposed to be . Is that true. I cant speculate at this time. The train was authorized to be on that track. Can you talk about that and was the Construction Equipment authorized to also be on that track. I cannot speculate at this time. Were still gathering facts on that information as to who had the authority to be on that track. Which track was being worked on, the track the train was traveling on . Again, i do not have that information at this time. Do you know what kind of work was being done. I do not know that as well. Thats something tomorrow we have interviews scheduled with the work crew and our investigators will be logging at that tomorrow. Whats the protocol for Something Like this . There is going to be maintenance with rail, backhoe on track much whats the protocol in terms of the internal controls that should be in place to prevent something leak this. The federal Railroad Administration sets Safety Standards for railroad operations. Veiled to refer you to the federal Railroad Administration to answer that question. Yes, maam. Whether or not there were any communications between the dispatchers and ing. We have secured all the communication down loads and equipment and we will be reviewing that. But again i have to stress that theres a lot of data and a lot of information that investigators in our laboratory in washington, d. C. Will be sifting through. The experience level of the either the conduct or it is part of our investigation. Our operations and Human Performance group will be interviewing those individuals tomorrow. How many workers were on the track. I dot not have that information at this time. There were several workers, correct but i did not have exact number at this time. Are you releasing the names . The ntsb does not release the names of the deceased. I will have to refer to you the Delaware County medical Examiners Office for that. Who who own this stretch of track . This is amtrak track. Question from reporter. Positive train control is something that is part of this investigation. We do have as i mention brrrd we have a signals group and a signals investigator that is looking into that. So the backhoe operator was operating the backhoe and where was the supervisor . Do you know where the supervisor was . I do not have that information at this time. When you say, g youve been listen to the ntsb giving us date on that deadly amtrak crash. Well have more coming up at 6 00 oclock. It may look like this guy is just standing in rittenhous writ police say hes about to pull a major exam.
