Every time this happens I read they are going to install positive train controls that limit the speed trains can travel on certain sections. I don't understand why it isn't done everywhere. I just heard on the news today that they have it ready to install, but were trying to work out a bandwidth problem. I heard the same thing about the band with. Since the FCC (another government agency) regulates bandwidth you would think since public safety is an issue it would be a priority. Despite the banter about funding for Amtrak the facts are that the positive train control for this curve was appropriated for but not yet installed. I heard this via local news, not sure what major networks have reported.
