The Amtrak train that derailed in Philadelphia and a separate commuter
train in the vicinity may have been hit by projectiles of some kind
shortly before the wreck, a U.S. transportation official said on Friday,
after investigators interviewed members of the Amtrak crew.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was called in to examine a
remnant of the Amtrak locomotive's shattered windshield with a circular
damage pattern, Sumwalt said.
.
The revelation that Amtrak train No. 188 might have been struck by a
bullet, rock or other object added an unexpected twist to a crash probe
that initially focused on why the train had accelerated to over 100 miles
per hour (160 km per hour) in the minute before it barreled into a curved
track segment where the authorized speed limit was just 50 mph (80 kph).
.
An assistant conductor told NTSB investigators on Friday that the train
run that day had been unremarkable until a few minutes after pulling out
of Philadelphia's 30th Street station, the last stop before the accident,
Sumwalt said.
.
At that point, she heard the engineer, 32-year-old Brandon Bostian,
talking by radio with the driver of another train from the Southeastern
Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA).
.
The other driver, according to her account, said he had reported to a
train dispatcher that his windshield had been cracked by a projectile that
he believed was either fired from a gun or thrown at his train, and that
he had made an emergency stop as a result, Sumwalt said.
