Just before Tuesday’s deadly Amtrak derailment, at about 9:25 p.m, Tuesday, SEPTA’s northbound Train 769, en route to Trenton on tracks on the Northeast Corridor beside the Amtrak rails, was struck by “an unknown projectile” that broke the engineer’s window, SEPTA spokeswoman Jerri Williams said.

So far we are told “There is no indication at this time that the two incidents are related in any way,” Williams said early Wednesday. But what this means is that technically the two trains were not connected. However, this statement does not exclude a coordinated attack or foul play.

So stay tuned.

UPDATE:

From the Associated Press:

Philadelphia police officials say the engineer of the Amtrak train that crashed, killing seven people and injuring more than 200, declined to provide a statement to investigators.

They say the engineer also had an attorney when he left a meeting with investigators. The engineer has not yet been identified.

Investigators are trying to determine why the train slipped off the tracks while rounding a sharp curve Tuesday night northeast of Philadelphia’s city center.

Authorities say the locomotive’s data recorder has been recovered and that it should yield critical information, including the speed of the train.

The speed limit just before the curve was 70 mph and on the curve it was 50 mph.

City officials are holding another briefing Wednesday afternoon. The National Transportation Safety Board also plans a 5 p.m. briefing.

Another curiosity – a different train had been hit by a “projectile” pretty violently a few minutes before the Amtrak train derailed. It’s just getting weirder and weirder.
