摘要: A eastbound NS freight train was diverted from the main track by a switch improperly lined, on February 14, 2007, at 6:40 p.m. The train entered an industrial track, struck a brush cutter and proceeded into the industrial building. The accident occurred on a private industrial lead known as the Whittaker Lead in South Plainfield, New Jersey, adjacent to Milepost 6.92, Conrail Shared Assets (CRSH) Port Reading Secondary mainline. There were no injuries to the train crew. The leading locomotive sustained estimated damage of $24,000. The trailing locomotive sustained estimated damage of $ 4,000 and the brush cutter was totaled (due to its age) at $3,000. Damage to the building was estimated at $250,000. Both locomotives and one end of a trailing car derailed when they ran out of running rail within the building. At the time of the accident it was dark and clear. The temperature was 19 degrees F. The accident was caused by a track foreman who failed to comply with CRSH Timetable Special Instruction 405-1 procedure and the Federal Railroad Administration Emergency Order No. 24 (Docket No. FRA-2005-22796, Notice No. 1).
