| 摘要： | On June 1, 2006, at 11:40 a.m. Central Daylight Time (CDT), southbound Norfolk Southern Railway (NS) freight Train A89A401 struck a westbound tractor-trailer (tanker) at a public highway-rail grade crossing in Axis, Alabama (AL). The accident occurred at milepost (MP) 128.2MB on the 3-B South Subdivision of the NS Alabama Division. The method of operation in the accident area is Track Warrant Control. The impact derailed the locomotive and the first through fifth head cars on the train and two rail cars standing in an adjacent storage track. All derailed cars contained hazardous materials, but no cars were breached and there was no release of materials. The tractor separated from the trailer on impact. The tractor wrapped around the front of the locomotive and became lodged under the front snowplow and end sheet. The trailer was shoved to the east side of the main track and dragged about 200 feet before becoming wedged between the train and cars standing in the Salco Storage Track. The trailer contained Sulfuric Acid, but there was no puncture of the tank and no release of product. The impact ripped the fuel tanks from the tractor resulting in a fire that consumed the tractor and burned the west side of the locomotive. The fire was quickly extinguished by local fire personnel. There were no evacuations of nearby businesses or residents. The train crew and tractor driver received minor injuries and were taken to local hospitals where they were treated and released. Estimated track damage is $8,000 and equipment damage is $53,800. The tractor-trailer was destroyed at an estimated replacement cost of $80,000 for the tractor and $40,000 for the trailer. At the time of the accident, the weather was clear with a temperature of 90DGF. The accident was caused by the failure of the truck driver to stop clear of the crossing and yield the right-of-way to the approaching train. |
