Train Lines
Under State law, a train is considered a common carrier. And being a common carrier, the trains are required to take extreme care of their passengers and in the majority cases, can be held responsible for accidents and even the smallest child that may occur while passengers are on board the train.
Transportation railway is regarded as one of the most popular means of transport in California. Metrolink, for example, runs 7 line routes with 54 stations and provides about 40,000 commuters in Southern California, including Los Angeles, with a fast and reliable transportation every day.
According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, more than 2500 accidents involving Trains were reported in 2006 in California. These resulted in about 172 injured and 6 deaths in the same year.
Train Accident Causes
The Department of Transportation reported that a train accident occurred in the entire ninety minutes, the country which are often caused by violations in inspections and maintenance that led to the deaths and injuries.
In general, the causes of train accidents can be grouped into five major categories:
1. human factor
2. composition and structure changes
3. equipment failure
4. signal and train control
5. factors such as weather or natural disasters
However, in a recent study of five years, was established that the majority of train accidents are caused by human factors or track and changes in the structure. Similar cases have been accused of many serious events in recent years involving train collisions or derailments resulting in release of hazardous material, or damage to passengers.
