| 摘要： | About 12:37 p.m. eastern daylight time on Saturday, June 20,1998, 30 of the ’.48 cars making up eastbound CSX Transportation, Inc., train Q316 derailed at Cox Landing, West Virginia. Of the derailed cars, three were loaded with hazardous material, and eight others contained hazardous material residue. Two of the loaded cars were damaged in the pileup and leaked a combined volume of about 21,500 gallons of formaldehyde solution. No one was injured during the derailment of the train; however, 15 persons reported minor injuries as a result of the release of formaldehyde. Total damages in the accident exceeded $2.6 million. The major safety issue identified in this investigation was inadequate roadbed drainage and resulting roadbed instability on a portion of the CSX Ohio River Subdivision. The analysis also addresses overall track conditions on this line and the likelihood that a particular railcar could have been at fault in the accident. Finally, the analysis addresses the emergency response to this accident, with particular emphasis on communication and coordination within and among the responding agencies. As a result of its investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board issued safety recommendations to the Federal Railroad Administration, to CSX Transportation, Inc., to Cabell and Wayne Counties’ Local Emergency Planning Committee, and to Mountaineer Gas Company. |
