| 摘要： | At approximately 5:51 a.m. PDT, June 14, 2006, an eastbound BNSF freight train M-RICBAR1-13 (Train no. 1) struck a westbound BNSF unit train U-SBDPKC1-11 (Train no. 2) head-on at the East Kismet Siding, Kismet (Madera County), California, Stockton Subdivision, milepost 1024.5. Track speed in the area is 55 mph for freight and 40 mph at both ends of the Kismet Siding. The method of operation is Traffic Control System/Centralized Traffic Control and is controlled by a dispatcher in San Bernardino, California. Speed of Train no. 1 at impact was 22 mph, while Train no. 2's speed was 38 mph. Three of the seven locomotives on Train no. 1 derailed along with two tank cars (one non-placarded, one placarded FLAMMABLE); one placarded tank car with FLAMMABLE GAS was knocked off its center pin but did not derail. No hazardous materials were released and there was no evacuation ordered. All four of the locomotives on Train no. 2 derailed as did 14 loaded hopper cars of cement. Train speeds were verified from event recorder downloads of the lead locomotives. All crew members from both trains sustained non life-threatening injuries; one required an extended hospital stay. Damages were estimated at: equipment, $4,932,528; track and structures, $392,000; no damage to signals. Weather at the time of the accident was dawn, clear and a temperature of 52 degrees Fahrenheit. The probable cause is the failure of Train no. 1 to comply with automatic block or interlocking signal displaying a stop indication. |
