Republican lawmakers of theo theous the house and the senate were on the way to sulphur springs, West Virginia. That is as high of a speed as we go in this area. So i dont know what that would be. 55, 60 miles per hour. I suspect my recollection was that is when we all got jolted. It wasnt from the hit of the accident, but it was when the train was stopping that we all got tossed a little bit. So the engineer stopped the train immediately. It is amazing how calm people were.
