| 摘要： | On August 2, 2017, at 4:54 a.m., local time, 33 rail cars on CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSX) train Q38831derailed in Hyndman Borough, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. The train consisted of 5 locomotives and a total of 178cars (128 loaded and 50 empty), including derailed cars 53 through 65. Three derailed tank cars containing hazardousmaterials were breached, resulting in a fire. Three homes were damaged by the derailment and subsequent fire. Therewas no loss of life or injuries. A 1-mile radius evacuation zone was established, which affected about 1,000 residents,and several highway-railroad grade crossings were closed. The evacuation was lifted about 12:00 p.m. on August 5.CSX reported $1.8 million in damages for the derailed equipment and $60,000 in damages to the track structure.Investigators determined that the probable cause of the accident was the inappropriate use of hand brakes on emptyrail cars to control train speed and the placement of blocks of empty rail cars at the front of the train consist, leadingto elevated longitudinal forces and increased lateral forces at the wheel-rail interface at the curve in the rail on theleading 42 cars combined with tread buildup on the 35th car, which was the first to derail. Contributing to thederailment were CSX operating practices that accepted the use of hand brakes on empty rail cars to control train speedand allowed blocks of empty rail cars to be placed at the front of the train consist The investigators focused on thesafety issues of CSX operational practices for building train consists, use of hand brakes to control train movement,and assessment and response to fires involving jacketed tank cars. As a result of the investigation, the NationalTransportation Safety Board makes one safety recommendation to the Federal Railroad Administration, threerecommendations to CSX, one recommendation to the American Association of Railroads, and one recommendationto the Security and Emergency Response Training Center. |
