In South Carolina, two people died and 116 were injured when an Amtrak passenger train traveling on the wrong track slammed into a stationary freight train. Rail experts said the accident could have been prevented if technology known as “positive train control” had been installed on the tracks. The accident marks the third high-profile fatal Amtrak train accident in the last two months.
