A team of investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board will arrive in Missouri early Tuesday to learn more about the derailment of an Amtrak train that left at least three people dead, according to the agency's chair.
Speed data on the route, data recorder information and camera footage from Amtrak will be requested by a "Go Team" of 16 investigators, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said Monday.
The derailment occurred as the train, traveling eastbound to Chicago, collided with a dump truck at a crossing near the town of Mendon in north-central Missouri at about 12:42 p.m. Monday, according to Amtrak. Eight of the train's cars and two locomotives left the track, the company said.
