| 摘要： | On March 7, 2007, at 9:56 p.m., c.s.t., two unattended locomotives from Canadian National Railroad (CN) Train No. R95491-07 (R95491-07) collided head-on with stopped westbound Northeast Illinois Regional Commuter Rail Corporation (NIRC) Commuter Train No. SWS 839 (SWS 839), on Amtraks (ATK) Main Track No. 4. The collision occurred in Chicago, Illinois, at ATK Milepost 1.4 in the Chicago Terminal. Six passengers and two NIRC employees received minor injuries. The collision derailed the lead truck on the striking locomotive and the lead truck of the first coach in the commuter train. There was no fire and no hazardous materials involved. At the time of the accident it was cloudy and the temperature was 20 F. The lead locomotive of the CN train sustained about $20,000 damage, and both locomotives and two coaches of the NIRC commuter train sustained a total of $36,000 damage. Damage to ATKs Main Track No. 4 was about $1,000. The cause of the accident was the failure to apply hand brakes on the locomotives of R95491-07 before leaving them unattended on a .59-percent grade, which enabled them to roll, striking SWS 839. |
