| 摘要： | On Monday, July 23, 2007, at approximately 8:55 a.m, two 90' DODX flat cars, loaded with containers (COFC) ran away from the US Army facility at Fort Drum and impacted with CSX Maintenance of Way (MOW) equipment in Watertown, NY. The impact resulted in derailing the two flat cars, and damaging four of the19 mechanized pieces of equipment being used by CSX Rail Gang C-6. The impact rupurted the diesel fuel tank on Spike Puller, SP 200706, which ignited and had to be extinguished by the Watertown Fire Department. The New York State Police evacuated a one-half mile area around the scene, including a section of Interstate 81, for a period of two hours. The evacuation was a result of the fire caused by the impact and also because some of the containers loaded on the flat cars were placarded, indicating they contained hazardous materials. The Rail Gang was alerted to the runaway cars just minutes before the impact. There were no injuries due to the impact, however, one CSX employee sprained his ankle and broke a bone in his foot while running from the site prior to the impact. The fire was extinguished and the containers were found to contain only small amounts of hazardous material resulting in the NYS Police to end the evacuation. The cars were re-railed and the track was restored to service by 11:40 p.m. on July 23, 2007. The weather conditions at the time of the collision were daylight, clear and the temperature was 72F. The railroad timetable direction of travel was south and the geographic direction of travel was south-west, all directions referenced in the report are timetable directions. The rail at this location is Class 2, and there is in succession, a 2-degree 30-minute, left curves followed by a tangent of 200 feet to the point of the impact and tangent 1,500 feet beyond. There is a 0.4-percent descending grade to the south at this location. FRA concluded with reasonable certainty that the runaway cars and following impact were caused by two flat cars that had been loaded on the Fort Drum Jersey (Interchange) track without being secured with handbrakes or wheel chocks. The initial movement of the cars was most likely the result of undesired movement created while loading containers onto the flat cars while located on a 0.3-percent descending grade. The material handlers stated they did not apply wheel chocks or handbrakes on either car as they had not received instructions, written or verbal on how to secure rail equipment and didnt believe it was their job to secure rail equipment. |
