摘要: On May 22, 2006, about 2:07 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) NS Train 44ET520 was operating westbound from Knoxville to Loudon, Tennessee (TN) with four locomotives and 70 loaded grain cars, 9,109 tons. It collided head-on with NS Train T72T522, operating with one locomotive and 35 railcars, 3,050 tons, on the Blair Bend Lead near Loudon. The accident resulted in the derailment of the locomotive of Train T72T522 along with the railcar next to the locomotive and the lead wheels of the second car from the locomotive. The head-end of the lead locomotive on Train 44ET520 was also derailed. Current damage estimates are $200,200 for equipment and $1,750 for track. It was a cloudy day with a temperature of 66 - 78 degree F. The only hazardous material released was approximately 250 gallons of diesel fuel from one of the locomotives. No injuries are reported. The probable cause of the accident was the failure of both trains to comply with the provisions of restricted speed. A contributing cause of the accident was the failure of the crew members of Train 44ET520 to comply with the dispatchers bulletin and special timetable instructions.
