A representative of the agency investigating last weeks fatal Amtrak crash
in Philadelphia said Sunday that the engineer reported nothing at all
about his train being struck by an object before it derailed.
.
Robert Sumwalt, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board,
appeared on several news shows Sunday and said records show that the
engineer of a local commuter train did report that he had been struck by
something. But there was no such communication by the engineer of the
Amtrak train.

Amtrak announced Sunday that it will resume full operations on the
Northeast Corridor on Monday. Service between Philadelphia and New York
had been suspended since Tuesdays accident. Train 110 is scheduled to
depart Philadelphia at 5:53 a.m. Monday, and Train 111 is slated to leave
New York at 5:30 a.m.
.
Amtrak also announced Sunday that it had complied with an order from the
Federal Railroad Administration that it make immediate safety improvements
in the area of the crash site.
.
Sumwalt said the NTSB will continue to look into the possibility that the
Amtrak train was struck by an object before Tuesdays derailment, which
killed eight people and injured more than 200. He told CNN that the FBI
will be on the scene Monday to examine a mark on the windshield of the
train.
.
But he quickly dismissed the possibility that someone had fired a shot at
the train.

Last week, a day after the fatal crash, the House Appropriations Committee
voted to cut funding for Amtrak, setting off heated debate. Republicans
argued that Democrats were using the crash to demand more money for the
rail system without knowing what caused the accident.
.
Sen. Robert P. Casey Jr. (D-Pa.), who appeared on Face the Nation, said
that while investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the
crash, he believes Amtrak needs more money.
.
Congress should not put Amtrak in the position of choosing between
positive train control safety and fixing crumbling bridges. We have to do
both, he said.
