A National Transportation Safety Board spokesperson told Mashablethat the organization is still in the early stages of its investigation and is not yet commenting on the derailment or whether positive train control may have prevented it.

The National Transportation Safety Board has advocated for positive train control as early as 1990.

The Rail Safety Improvement Act, passed by Congress in 2008, mandated positive train control installment across the nation by the end of 2015, but that has since rolled back to 2018 after train operators said they didn't have the funding to get the job done.

That deadline may still be pushed to 2020. New Jersey Transit officials said in 2015 they planned to install positive train control on New Jersey Transit trains and tracks by the end of 2018.

The lack of positive train control on American railroads often becomes a topic of conversation after train accidents make national news.

The National Transportation Safety Board told Mashablein 2013 that the technology would have stopped a deadly Metro-North train crash. The train derailed after it flew around a curve at more than twice the speed limit.

Positive train control may have also prevented a similar deadly Amtrak derailment in May 2015, when a train derailed at more than twice the speed limit going around a curve in Philadelphia.
