Was the track affected by the heat- was the track maintained? and had it been inspected on a timely basis?

((AMTRAK'S CAPITOL LIMITED WAS ABOUT TEN MINUTES AWAY FROM ITS WASHINGTON DC STOP ... WHEN ACCORDING TO PASSENGERS .... THE TRAIN SUDDENLY LURCHED AND BEGAN TUMBLING OFF THE TRACKS.

All of a sudden we started moving. We fell through the door on the other side. We didn't know what happened." WITHIN SECONDS, A HALF DOZEN OF THE TRAIN'S DOUBLE-DECKER CARS FLIPPED OVER. MANY OF THE PEOPLE ON BOARD MANAGED TO ESCAPE THROUGH WINDOWS AND SIDE DOORS. SOME WERE TRAPPED, AND HAD TO BE FREED BY RESCUERS. NEARLY 100 PEOPLE WERE INJURED, BUT OFFICIALS SAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. CHIEF CHARLES MOOSE/MONTGOMERY CO. POLICE: - "To get out of this without the fatalities is indeed a miracle." A TEAM OF INVESTIGATORS WITH THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD IS NOW TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE DERAILMENT. THEY ARE REVIEWING THE TRAIN'S SO-CALLED BLACK BOXES AND TESTING THE ENGINEER FOR POSSIBLE DRUG USE. THE NTSB IS ALSO CONSIDERING WHETHER THE SOARING HEAT PLAYED A ROLE. CAROL CARMODY/NTSB VICE CHAIRWOMAN: "We know that heat can be a factor and can cause a slight misshaping or buckling in the rail." CSX -- THE COMPANY THAT OWNS AND MAINTAINS THESE TRACKS -- SAYS THE SECTION WHERE THE DERAILMENT HAPPENED PASSED A VISUAL INSPECTION ON SUNDAY. AND THAT A FREIGHT TRAIN REPORTED NOTHING UNUSUAL WHEN IT TRAVELED OVER THOSE SAME TRACKS JUST 45-MINUTES BEFORE THE WRECK. ALEEN SIRGANY, CBS NEWS, KENSINGTON, MARYLAND.))
