Two Amtrak crew members were killed, and more than 100 people were injured. The Silver Star, en route from New York to Miami with nearly 150 people aboard, was going an estimated 95 km/h when it struck the empty CSX train around 2:45 a.m., Gov. One car in the middle of the Amtrak train was snapped in half, forming a V off to one side of the tracks. Investigators recovered a camera from the front of the Amtrak train and were looking for the data recorders from the two trains. And on Dec. 18, an Amtrak train ran off the rails along a curve during its inaugural run on a route south of Tacoma, Washington, killing three people and injuring dozens.
