RA600047 Derailment of BNSF Ry. Co. Intermodal Freight Train S-CHILAC1-31 in Crisfield, KS on September 2, 1998
Cause:  Structural failure of intermodal car due to fatigue cracking initiated when a container was misloaded onto a foreign object.  The misloading of the container occurred because of the railroad industry's inadequate preloading inspection procedures for double-stack well cars.  Contributing to the accident was the improper and undocumented repair of the car.
