Railroad Injuries
While railroad accidents, like airline accidents, are relatively uncommon, their results are usually catastrophic when they occur. Whether the accidents are incurred onboard due to engineer carelessness, or at crossings where maintenance or safety has been lax, the injuries and deaths caused by such misconduct changes families and lives forever.
The federal NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) is responsible for investigating major transportation accidents for airlines and railroads, and they have promulgated safety rules directly focusing on increased railroad operation safety. Many of these regulations have been ignored based on claims of unrealistic cost implementation measures.
