摘要: About 4:31 a.m. on June 18, 1998, a westbound Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District (NICTD) two-car passenger train struck the second semitrailer of a long combination vehicle that consisted of a tractor pulling two flatbed semitrailers loaded with steel coils at a highway-rail grade crossing near Portage, Indiana. Three fatalities and five minor injuries resulted from the accident. In a June 18, 1998, letter to National Transportation Safety Board Chairman James Hall, U.S. Senator Richard Lugar and U.S. Congressman Peter J. Visclosky cited three previous accidents that had involved the NICTD system and expressed concern about NICTD’s long-term safe operation The Safety Board reviewed the accident history of the NICTD system and determined that, given the series of incidents experienced on the NICTD line, an evaluation of NICTD’s overall safety should be conducted. The safety issues discussed in this report are the safety of NICTD grade crossings, the implementation of the NICTD System Safety Program Plan, and the effectiveness of the NICTD corporate safety culture. As a result of its investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board issued recommendations to NICTD, the Indiana Department of Transportation, and the Boards of Commissioners of Indiana’s Lake, LaPorte, Porter, and St. Joseph Counties.
