technology known as positive train control. all rail lines are supposed to meet that deadline as the ceo of amtrak told me in philadelphia. >> there's been some difficulty for them to get their -- all their acts together. they all have a different idea of what they should do but there's -- i think it's a clear message out here this is coming. >> reporter: so later this morning, we will learn that key piece of information about whether that engineer was on his cell phone. if he wasn't george we're left with the nagging question why was the train going twice the speed limit when it hit that curb in philadelphia. >> thanks very much. we'll go to "gma" weekend anchor paula faris in for amy. we heard about rail safety. you're starting with highway safety. >> great to be here. the maker of a karlovic guardrail is being ordered to pay up this morning. trinity highway products was the subject of our reporting last fall when a jury ruled the company made false statements to the government about a change in how it made guardrails.
