This was not a high speed train, track or system

Reader comment on: Spain High Speed Rail Crash

Submitted by Michael (United States), Jul 26, 2013 15:50

The accident was on a standard rail line, not a high speed rail system. An HSR system would have prevented this accident as they all have automated train control that prevents excessive speed and can automatically control braking.
