Two deadly train collisions in Connecticut could have been avoided if railway technology now required on commuter lines existed at the time, federal authorities say.
The Federal Railroad Administration documented two rail accidents in the state in the past 50 years that could have been prevented if automatic braking technology called positive train control were implemented at the time one in Darien in 1969 on Penn Central rails and another in New Canaan in 1976 on Conrail.

Act One went according to script.
Dual-belted middleweight champion Gennadiy Golovkin defended his IBF/IBO straps in predictable fashion on Friday night, erasing anonymous contender Kamil Szeremeta in the main event of a DAZN-televised card from behind closed doors at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
The win was the 41st in 43 fights for the 38-year-old Golovkin and his third straight since he lost his previous cache of 160-pound championship jewelry to Canelo Alvarez in their second get-together in 2018.
Golovkin dominated the previously unbeaten Szeremeta for every minute before the decisive sequence, which actually came in the corner when referee Telis Assimenios stopped matters after the seventh round.

New York City is on course this year to record the highest number of deaths of drivers and passengers since it launched a traffic safety initiative in 2014.
The rise in deaths comes even as crashes and traffic plummeted during the coronavirus pandemic. City transportation officials say speeding and other reckless behavior on the city’s emptier roads, especially at night, caused the increase.
Julia Kite-Laidlaw, the transportation department’s head of policy for Vision Zero, the city program to reduce road deaths, said many police reports this year involved drivers speeding and vehicle occupants not wearing seatbelts. “These are the kind of things where choices as drivers and motorcyclists really matter,” Ms. Kite-Laidlaw said.
