What causes train accidents?
Passenger train operators such as New Jersey Transit and Amtrak are
legally required to implement procedures and protocols to protect the
safety of their passengers. When they don’t do this, accidents can occur.
Accidents can also happen because of the carelessness of other drivers
and pedestrians. Common causes of train accidents and crashes
include:
Conductor or operator negligence and/or error
A fatigued conductor or other member of the crew
Train, car or track defects or improper maintenance
Human error by the train operator or the driver of another vehicle
Signal and crossing equipment problems and defects
Traveling speeds in excess of regulations
Poorly marked or maintained crossings
Failure to sound a warning
