It is currently unclear what caused the crash, but investigations are ongoing.

NBC reported Thursday that the train was not equipped with positive train control technology, which slows down a train if it exceeds a certain speed on a stretch of track. The U.S. Department of Transportation has a requirement that trains nationwide have the technology implemented by 2018.
