| 摘要： | On February 3, 2015, at 6:26 p.m., a vehicle driven by a 49-year-old woman, traveled northwest on Commerce Street in Valhalla, New York, toward a highway-railroad grade crossing. The driver entered the boundary of the grade crossing and stopped. The driver then moved beyond the boundary and stopped adjacent to the railroad tracks. The grade crossing warning system activated and the gate came down, striking the rear of the vehicle. She exited her vehicle, examined the gate, then returned to her vehicle and moved forward on to the tracks. Meanwhile, a Metro-North Railroad train approached the grade crossing. The engineer activated the emergency brakes and collided with the vehicle at 51 mph. The train and the vehicle continued north, damaging the electrified third rail which pierced the vehicle and penetrated the lead railcar. Five passengers died and nine passengers and the engineer were injured, all in the lead railcar. The driver of the vehicle also died. The NTSB made new recommendations to the Federal Transit Administration; Metro-North; Long Island Rail Road, Amtrak, Port Authority Trans-Hudson Corporation, and Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority; the New York Department of Transportation, and the town of Mount Pleasant, New York. |
