Investigators probing a
rail accident which killed six people near New York City say the train
was within the speed limit for that section of track.
The crash happened after a mother-of-three stopped her car on a level crossing north of the city.
She was killed in the subsequent inferno along with five train passengers.
Accident investigators also said there were no problems with the signals or barrier at the site of the collision.
But they remain unaware why the driver, 49-year-old Ellen
Brody, became stranded on the crossing at Valhalla, about 20 miles
(32km) north of New York City.
An official from the National Transportation Safety Board,
the federal agency leading the probe, said on Thursday that a witness in
a nearby car had seen Ms Brody stop on the crossing in the moments
before the train approached.
