Commanding locomotive was pretty much brand spanking new. The locomotive was built in Siemens' Sacramento, CA facility within the last year, and the type has been in revenue service for only about 4 months. It's heavily computerized, so that's going to provide an immense amount of data for the investigation.
The track was also new, but passengers already compained about it. The trains exceeded the speed limit pretty often, this time the train was about 80 km/h faster than the speed limit of 48 km/h (30 mph).
Likely no big investigation needed, just the question why nobody noticed this habit.
