| 摘要： | On February 4, 2018, about 2:27 a.m., southbound Amtrak (National Railroad Passenger Corporation) train P91, operating on a track warrant, was diverted from the main track through a reversed hand-throw switch into a track and collided head-on with a stationary CSX Transportation Corporation (CSX) local freight train F777. The accident occurred on CSX’s Florence Division, Columbia Subdivision in Cayce, South Carolina. The engineer and conductor of the Amtrak train died because of the collision. Ninety-one passengers and crew members on the Amtrak train were transported to medical facilities. The engineer of the stopped CSX train had exited the lead locomotive before the Amtrak train entered the track, ran to safety, and was not injured. The conductor on the CSX lead locomotive saw the Amtrak train approaching on the track and ran to the back of locomotive. The conductor was thrown off the locomotive and sustained minor injuries. Damage was estimated at $25.4 million. The investigation focused on the following safety issues: the medical examination process for railroad employees, the actions and responsibilities of the train crew handling the switches, operations during signal suspensions, a CSX efficiency testing program, implementation of a safety management system by Amtrak, and occupant protection in passenger railcars. As a result of the investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board makes two safety recommendations to CSX and one safety recommendation to all host railroads. The National Transportation Safety Board also reiterates four recommendations to the Federal Railroad Administration and one recommendation to Amtrak. Further, the NTSB reclassifies two recommendations to the Federal Railroad Administration. |
