Amtrak Mystery

by Jack

Amtrak is a very big company. There are many types of trains on the rails, many crashes. But there is one that will baffle investigators for centuries. One night, May 12th 2015, in Philadelphia, a typical late-night northeast regional train was carrying in little bit over 200 passengers. It was going around a curve at a shocking speed: 107 miles per hour. The train curved off the rails and bursted into flames. 2 cars were thrown into the bridge and smashed to pieces. The power car was thrown 2 tracks away from the rest of the train and came to a stop. But no one knows why the train was going 107 miles per hour. The conductor, Brandon Bostian, didn’t remember anything that night. But this is the #1 mystery for Amtrak that they will never figure out why it happened.
