| RA600046 | Collision
Between Union Pacific Freight Trains MKSNP-01 and ZSEME-29 near Delia,
Kansas on July 2, 1997
Cause: Failure of the NP-01 engineer to stop at the Stop Signal, enabled by the failure of Union Pacific management to ensure redundant safety systems for train operations and control, including effective crew resource management techniques and technological advances for crew alertness. Contributing to the collision and derailment was the failure of the Federal Railroad Administration and the railroad industry to aggressively develop and implement a positive train separation control system. |

| RA600049 | Collision
Involving Three Conrail Freight Trains Operating in Fog on a Double Main
Track near Bryan, Ohio on January 17, 1999
Cause: Failure of the crew of train Mail-9 to comply with restrictive signal indications while operating at or near maximum authorized speed in dense fog. Contributing to the accident was the lack of uniformity and consistency in the operating practices of Conrail train crews when they encountered conditions of reduced visibility. Also contributing to the accident was the lack of a backup safety system that would have helped alert the crewmembers of train Mail-9 to the restrictive signal indications. |

| RA600050 | Derailment
of Amtrak Train 21 on the Union Pacific Railroad at Arlington, Texas on
December 20, 1998
Cause: (1) track conditions that were inadequate for the speed of the train, (2) the decision of the dispatcher to delay notifying track dept. personnel that a train crew had reported encountering rough track, (3) the inadequate effort on the part of the engineer of Amtrak train 22 to contact the dispatcher to report the observed track defect and its location, (4) the failure of the tamper operator to adequately resurface the track 4 days before the accident, (5) inadequate Union Pacific Railroad oversight of track maintenance work, (6) inadequate Union Pacific Railroad requirements for restricting train speed over track with reported rough conditions until track dept. personnel can assess track condition. |
