| 摘要： | About 4:31 a.m. on June 18, 1998, a westbound Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District two-car passenger train struck the second semitrailer of a long combination vehicle consisting of a tractor pulling two flatbed semitrailers loaded with steel coils at a highway-rail grade crossing near Portage, Indiana. When the vehicles collided, the second semitrailer broke away and was dragged by the train, while a chain securing a steel coil to the second semitrailer broke. The released coil entered the train’s lead car through the front bulkhead and moved into the passenger compartment. Three fatalities and five minor injuries resulted. The safety issues discussed in this report are safety at private grade crossings, the design of the National Steel Corporation's Midwest Steel grade crossing, the conspicuity of the long combination vehicle semitrailer, and the crashworthiness of the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District railcars. As a result of its investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board issued recommendations to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Federal Railroad Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, the Indiana Department of Transportation, the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District, the National Steel Corporation (Midwest Steel Division), and the Norfolk Southern Corporation. The Safety Board also reiterated one safety recommendation to the U.S. Department of Transportation. |
