Despite now knowing that the Amtrak train that derailed outside of Philadelphia on Tuesday night was going more than double the speed limit, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC continued pushing the need for more infrastructure funding and an increase in Amtrak’s budget on their Wednesday evening newscasts. 

On the CBS Evening News, anchor Scott Pelley parroted the point that “[s]ome of Amtrak's equipment has been charitably described as ‘antique,’” before going on fret that “a House panel today cut Amtrak’s budget even more.”
