Federal regulators are ordering railroads all over the country to review rules about speed after a New York City derailment that killed four people last week.
The Federal Railroad Administration issued an industry-wide safety advisory Wednesday. It ordered railroads to brief employees on the circumstances of the Dec. 1 Metro-North derailment and train them on the importance of speed limits.
Investigators have found that the Metro-North train was racing at 82 mph as it entered a 30 mph curve in the Bronx.
