Since we don't know what the train's speed was before the incident, that would be very difficult to determine. I understand that there is a 75 MPH and a 70 MPH zone that precede the curve. The curve has an MAS of 30 MPH. Assuming that all was normal, a smooth reduction of 40 MPH would likely be in the 40-80 second range given a soft rate of 1/2 to 1 MPH/Sec/sec. |
