What are the Top Causes of Train Accidents?

The latest data shows the following are the leading Pennsylvania train accident causes:

 

  • Improper track maintenance: With hundreds of miles of track stretching across Pennsylvania, track maintenance and repair is critical. Train accidents are often caused by maintenance failures on commonly used routes. 
  • Excessive speed: Traveling at high speed, it takes just a small increase in velocity and a sharp curve to cause a serious train accident. Train operators can often be found at fault when trains travel in excess of their posted limits. 
  • Incorrect switch alignment: Trains tracks are organized by switches, which switch one train to another track when other trains are passing on the same line. A switch failure can have serious consequences, including derailments and collisions.  
  • Objects on the tracks: Objects accidentally or deliberately left on a track can lead to derailment as the train operator tries to avoid a collision. Tools and equipment left on the track by maintenance staff, and vehicles stuck on the tracks at train crossings are the most common objects leading to train accidents.

Why Are Train Accidents So Dangerous?

Train accidents sometimes involve cars, trucks and pedestrians. There are many cases where pedestrians have been fatally injured. Because trains are so large and travel at high speed while carrying heavy loads, train accidents can cause life-altering injuries and damage, leading to high medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.
