A preliminary investigation found "it was a Metrolink engineer that failed to stop at a red signal and that was the probable cause of the accident," Metrolink spokeswoman Denise Tyrrell said.

Tyrrell said the engineer worked for a subcontractor, Veolia, used by Metrolink since 1998. She said she believes the engineer died. The engineer's name was not released.

The toll made it the deadliest U.S. passenger rail accident in 15 years.
