The engineer driving the Amtrak train that derailed Tuesday night has been identified as 32-year-old Brandon Bostian.
The attorney for Bostian, a Queens, New York, resident, confirmed his identity to ABC News.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Bostian has worked at Amtrak for nearly nine years, the first half of which he spent as a passenger conductor before he became a passenger engineer in December 2010.
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter said today that the engineer suffered unspecified injuries and received medical care.
