DUPONT, Wash. – State senators are set to unveil a plan for better oversight of Sound Transit after the scathing hearing this week where the National Transportation Safety Board blamed systemwide failures for the fatal derailment of an Amtrak train in Dupont in December 2017.
Officials are heading back to Dupont Thursday morning, where three people were killed and dozens were injured when the train flew off the tracks and onto Interstate 5.
