FILE - In this Dec. 18, 2017, file photo, cars from an Amtrak train lay spilled onto Interstate 5 below as some remain on the tracks above in DuPont, Wash. The engineer operating the train says he misjudged where he was along the new high-speed route before it hurtled into a curve at more than twice the speed limit. The National Transportation Safety Board on Thursday, Jan. 25, 2018, offered a summary of its interviews with the 55-year-old engineer and the 48-year-old conductor. Three people were killed and dozens were injured on the inaugural run of the Tacoma to Portland train route. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)
