An overhead view of the wreckage of a train crash is seen near Santiago de Compostela, northwestern Spain, in this still image from video, July 25, 2013.
The initial reading of the so-called black box, released by the court investigating the case, also showed the train was travelling at 192 km (120 miles) per hour in the minutes before it derailed in a curve where speed is limited at 80 km per hour.
The eight-carriage train had slowed to 153 km per hour at the time of the crash after a brake was activated seconds before, the black box showed.
Driver Francisco Garzon, 52, was freed from police custody on Sunday pending trial on charges of negligent homicide.
