interviewing the train's crew and passengers. take a look at the video. we do know how fast this train was traveling before the accident. it was speeding down these tracks at the twice the limit. ntsb says train was traveling at 106 miles an hour coming in the sharp curve in the track. they say train engineer applied emergency break moments before the derailment but that only slowed the trains slightly. limit here is just 50 miles an hour. train's black box and front mounted camera has been recovered and they hope those provide vital clues but the big question remain, what was the engineer doing and why was he going so fast. >> we plan to interview the train crew and a other personnel. we would like to interview passengers of the train. we will be conducting a site distance test. we will be testing the signal system the train control signals. we will be testing the braking

system and detailed analysis instead of the cursory analysis that i mentioned earlier, off the recorders, we will be doing a very detailed, down load and an assist of those reporters. our mission is to find out in the only what happened but why it happened, so that we can prevent it from happening again. that is really what we're here for. >> reporter: of course, ntsw officials want to talk to the train's engineer but they want to give him a couple days to recover. this accident has killed seven people and injured more than 200. much more coming up live, but we are live from port richmond, jane carabao for cbs-3 "eyewitness news". engineer behind controls of the deadly derailed amtrak train is brandon bostian. >> the train was traveling more than twice the the speed limit when it ran in the sharp curve tuesday night. the ntsb wants to talk to that engineer. nicole brewer joins us with more on the investigation.

keep that unis around for better part of the day but eventually cloud to rebuild and that frontal boundary starting to lift in. that will be the beginning signal of that front's a arrival. it will eventually i think trigger a couple of showers or thunderstorms. scattered in nature throughout the course of the weekend and as early as late in the day or friday night that we will start to see wet weather firing up here but in the meantime enjoy this. 73 degrees and sunshine. you cannot beat it. later on tonight we will drop down to a seasonal 52 under a generally clear sky and moving forward in the forecast temperature do start to warm up here. mid 80's expectation both saturday and sunday and then again as we get a warm front moving in the area but it looks like that warm front essentially gets stuck. it looks like it will keep potential at least for some showers around on monday, and probably tuesday, as well and then we should start to clear things out completely by wednesday. but i wouldn't call any of these days a wash out it is just, there might be some rain drops out there. >> okay. >> yes.
