| 摘要： | On January 18, 2006, about 4:17 p.m. CST eastbound Norfolk Southern Railroad (NS) intermodal freight Train 226A117 struck the rear of NS freight Train 22RA116, which was stopped in the siding at milepost (MP) 757.9 near Lincoln, Alabama. Both trains were operating on the Alabama Division, East End District, between Birmingham, AL and Atlanta, Georgia. The last four auto-rack cars of Train 22RA116 caught fire after they were struck by Train 226A117 and three auto-rack cars derailed. Train 226A117's three locomotives and the first seven cars derailed. Four of these cars were multi-unit articulated cars and three were single platform cars. All 21 platforms derailed. Three crew members of the striking train received non-life threatening injuries. There were no injuries to the crew of Train 22RA116. There was a release of 285lbs of Sodium Cyanide, 6.1, UN 1689, PG I, RQ from two damaged intermodal containers located on the fourth car in Train 226A117. A precautionary evacuation of a 1/2 mile was ordered. The evacuation zone effected about 224 households, with an estimated potential evacuation of 560 persons. NS estimates the equipment damage to Train 22RA116 is $210,000 and the equipment damage to Train 226A117 is $2,235,100. The damage to track, signal, and wayside structures is estimated to be $89,000. Total damages are estimated to be $2,534,100. The accident took place during daylight. The weather conditions were sunny and clear, and the temperature was 53F. The probable cause of the accident was the failure of Train 226A117 crew members to recognize an imperfectly displayed signal indication at Signal-7604 (Riverside-MP 760.4) and take appropriate action as required by NS operating rule NS-27. Contributing to the accident was the train crews failure to operate their train in accordance with the most restrictive indication at Signal-7604 (Riverside), NS-309C, proceed at Restricted Speed. |
