If you read the news article it says BNSF owns the track. Amtrak rents the track they pay a fee per axle mile. Where does it say it was a track failure? The last time VIA had a derailment in my part of CANADA it was a burnt off axle bearing on their locomotive not CNs track.
Doesn't relieve AMTRAK of their responsibility to operate safely.
