The track shifted about a foot (30 centimeters) following the impact, National Transportation Safety Board Member Earl Weener told reporters at a news conference.

Weener said the train was traveling at the posted speed limit of 60 mph (97 kph) and the train’s engineer promptly applied the emergency brakes.
