Metro-North Train In Crash Wasn't Speeding And Crossing Signals Were Working, Feds Say



NEW YORK, Feb 5 (Reuters) - A New York commuter train that crashed on Tuesday killing six people was traveling just below the speed limit, and no problems have been found with the crossing and traffic signals or barrier at the crash site, federal investigators said on Thursday.



The Metro-North train slammed into an SUV at a crossing in suburban Valhalla, New York, killing five passengers and the vehicle's driver.



The train's driver activated the emergency brake just before the crash, when the SUV was stopped on the crossing, said Robert Sumwalt, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board which is investigating, at a news conference.
