freight cars, and 20,000 locomotives. To monitor the railroads'
compliance with Federally mandated safety standards, the Federal
Railroad Administration was created and employs 400 inspectors operating

Railroad Accidents Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Nation's railroads unsafe?
Yes. Every 90 minutes, a train accident occurs somewhere in this
country, and every two weeks, a train carrying hazardous materials
runs off the tracks and spills its load. Unprotected railroad crossings
and dangerous tracks also are major problems.
What could the railroads be doing?
The nation's four largest railroads continue to make enormous profits.
They could be putting a small amount of their profits towards repairing
track and making railroad crossings safer.
What about all these railroad mergers, have they helped?
No. These super mergers have actually caused tremendous problems
and accidents throughout the country and created havoc for local
communities.
Aren't most crossing accidents caused by drivers trying
to beat a train across the tracks?
No. Consider that according to the National Transportation Safety
Board, 60% of all crossing fatalities occur at unprotected crossings
and that lights and gates do NOT protect eighty percent of the public
railroad crossings.
