Abstract It is hoped that the information provided in this publication will provide insight into the most significant safety issues facing the rail industry and, in turn, lead to continued rail safety improvements. Only by continuing our understanding about how and why railroad accidents and incidents occur can we hope to approach our goal of zero tolerance. The completeness and accuracy of the information presented in this bulletin is primarily dependent upon the data collection and reporting processes of the Nation’s railroads. FRA conducts routine audits of these procedures, but does not have sufficient resources to perform comprehensive reviews of each railroad’s reporting procedures. We extensively review and edit the reports we receive and make inquiries when information is incomplete or inconsistent.
