Just curious - does that line have olde ATS or ATC tied to the signals? It's originally the NYC main line after all, at least north of the junction if not all of it - didn't they have something? If they did, and if it's still operating, how did the train make it to the curve at that kind of speed? Of course, even if NYC had something it could have been deactivated years ago as a cost-cutting measuere by any of several railroads...
