CHESTER, Pa. (AP) — Federal officials say the engineer of an Amtrak passenger train applied the emergency brakes five seconds before it struck a backhoe sitting on the same track, killing the backhoe operator and a track supervisor. The National Transportation Safety Board said Monday the train was going 106 miles per hour in a 110 mph zone. No one on board was killed, but more than 30 passengers were injured. The injuries aren't considered life-threatening. NTSB investigator Ryan Frigo says videos show construction equipment on the track and a contractor's equipment on an adjacent track before Sunday morning's crash.
