摘要：	On April 24, 2018, about 8:58 a.m. local time, northbound Amtrak (National RailroadPassenger Corporation) train 86 struck and killed an Amtrak rail gang watchman near the Bowie StateTrain Station in Bowie, Maryland. The accident occurred on main track 1 at milepost 119.2 on Amtrak’sNortheast Corridor. At the time of the accident, main track 2 was out of service under a continuous trackoutage for track maintenance, and the adjacent tracks immediately to the east and west of main track 2(main tracks 1 and 3, respectively) were in service for train movements. Three watchmen were protectingthe roadway workers and watching for trains moving on adjacent tracks to warn workers of approachingtrains. One watchman was positioned near the boarding platform, another was positioned in a nearbycurve, and the third watchman was positioned toward the end of the curve, near a work gang of welders.The third watchman was the employee struck by the train. No passengers or crewmembers on Amtraktrain 86 were injured. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) identified the following safetyissues: inadequate site-specific safety risk assessment, unsafe train speeds in established work zones, andineffective roadway worker protection. As a result of this investigation, the NTSB makes safetyrecommendations to the Federal Railroad Administration; Amtrak; and Amtrak and all Class I Railroads.NTSB also reiterated a recommendation to Amtrak and reiterated and classified a recommendation to theFederal Railroad Administration.
