Train Crash Statistics

The National Transportation Safety Board reports that trains collide with people or vehicles every two hours. A train accident kills more than a thousand people every year. It causes approximately 2,300 injuries and 600 deaths.

According to the National Transportation Safety Board, pedestrians are more likely to die in train accidents than in automobile accidents. Unsafe crossings, outdated safety features, and a lack of warning systems for motorists are responsible for 50% of fatal train accidents.

Over 7,200 people have died in train accidents in the United States since 1997. Trains colliding with pedestrians have recently surpassed all other causes of death on American railroads as the leading cause of fatalities.

Trains are the most efficient mode of transportation. Several factors influence employee and passenger safety, including conductor skill and maintenance frequency. The danger arises from their carelessness or use of unsafe shortcuts.

Derailments, worn-out tracks, disregard for safety regulations, lax security, and other forms of negligence also cause train accidents.
