摘要: On June 5, 2018, about 2:50 p.m. local time, a westbound BNSF Railway intermodal train,S MEMSCO1 02L, was operating in multiple main track in centralized traffic control territory when it collided withthe rear of a slow moving eastbound work train, WNEESGM1 05. The work train was making an eastbound reversemove to drop off an employee before traveling west to exit the main track. The collision occurred on main track 1 atmilepost 480.2 in an area known as Crozier Canyon, about 33 miles east of Kingman, Arizona. The collision resultedin the death of one contract (Herzog Railroad Services, Inc.) employee who was traveling on the work train. AnotherHerzog employee was air lifted to a hospital in Las Vegas with serious injuries. Investigators determined that theprobable cause of the accident was the failure of the BNSF Railway train crew of the intermodal train to operate inaccordance with restricted speed requirements and stop short of the opposing train. Contributing to the accident was(1) BNSF Railway’s failure to establish sufficient on-track safety and (2) the Federal Railroad Administration’sinterpretation of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations Part 214 Subpart C that allows work trains to lay rail withoutusing a form of on-track safety. The investigators focused on the safety issues of protection of roadway workers whofoul a track and compliance with restricted speed requirements. As a result of the investigation, the NationalTransportation Safety Board makes two safety recommendations to the Federal Railroad Administration.
