The MSNBC host argued that the Amtrak crash outside of Philadelphia, which
happened when the train hit a sharp turn at more than 100 miles per hour
and derailed, would not have happened had a positive train control system
been in place. Positive train control systems monitor trains and their
movement to improve safety: They also enforce speed limits, to ensure
trains are not too close together or on a collision course and to protect
work crews.

Maddow characterized the problem more broadly, saying the U.S. has failed
to invest in infrastructure across the board, despite high levels of
public support. While trains in Spain travel an average of 154 miles per
hour and those in Japan top out at over 200, Amtrak's average speed is a
sluggish 65 miles per hour.
