The Geniuses at Amtrak. Set up a “high speed” passenger train route, and DO it on low speed tracks still having speed-limiting curves. Spent a fortune laying brand new rails and ties, on a route that originally carried wood-burning puffer bellies. And didn’t bother EMPHASISING to the operators, that portions of the route were still low speed.

My car GPS gives a red indicator when I'm going faster than the speed limit for the road I'm on. I'm guessing that it wouldn't be THAT hard to equip a train with a GPS which would automatically throttle back when approaching a curve. Or at least sound an alarm to the engineer.

True. Any smart phone can download LOTS of alarm apps to do so!
