Causes of Train Accidents

Rail transportation has become a popular and safe form of transportation, but just as car and truck accidents happen, so do train accidents. According to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), there were more than 10,000 train accidents and incidents reported between January 2013 and November 2013 leading to more than 700 fatalities.

In the Maryland and Virginia region, there were more than 50 train accidents reported in 2013. Any type of train accident can lead to serious injuries or death among passengers and rail employees due to the size and weight of the locomotive.

Some common causes of train accidents include:

According to the FRA, human errors were the leading cause of train accidents and incidents followed by problems with the train tracks.

Types of Train Accidents

Oftentimes, the cause of the train accident will determine the type of collision that occurs. Human errors and malfunctioning parts of the locomotive often lead to derailment but could also cause other types of train accidents, including:

• Train/train collision
• Train vs. car accident
• Railroad crossing collision
• Fires

Additionally, some train accidents do not necessarily involve an actual collision. Collisions with pedestrians, passengers falling out of the car and material spills may also occur.
