| 摘要： | On July 14, 2006, at 5:00 p.m., PDT, a westbound Union Pacific Railroad (UP) yard switch train, LIM49-14, collided with UP QPDRV-13, a freight train moving southbound. The side collision derailed the two leading cars of the 13 cars being shoved ahead of the locomotive by the yard switch crew. No cars were derailed on the freight train. The collision occurred at the main track crossover switch located at UP milepost 427.6 on the Portland Service Unit, Cascade Subdivision, in Klamath Falls, Oregon. This location is where BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) owned track connects with UP owned track. The yard switch train consisted of one locomotive and 13 loaded cars. The southbound freight train consisted of three locomotives, 59 loaded cars and 22 empty cars. The yard switch train crew was transferring the 13 cars (shoving ahead of the locomotive) from the BNSF yard to the UP yard when the train entered the crossover switch which was improperly lined for their intended movement. The cars were shoved onto the UP main track and collied with the 69th car of the southbound freight train. According to the crew, the air brakes were coupled and operating, but were not tested as this was a switching move. At the time of the collision the yard switch train was operating at a recorded speed of 7 mph and the southbound freight train was operating at a recorded speed of 10 mph. There were no injuries to any train crew members and no release of hazardous materials. At the time of the accident it was sunny, clear, and 75DG F. The railroad reported equipment damage of $41,916 and track damage of $20,400. The probable cause of the collision was even though the brakeman was in the area of the leading end of the shoving movement, he did not have the switches lined properly for the intended movement, and did not control the movement. Shoving movement, man on or at leading end of movement, failure to control the movement. |
