California Train Collision
Many of us are familiar with one of our nation’s deadliest train wrecks of late that happened just outside Los Angeles on September 12, 2008. At the time of this writing, this horrific crash that killed 25 people and injured over one hundred others has been blamed on human error. Officials announced that the train’s engineer failed to stop at a stop signal and collided with a freight train. The Metrolink engineer, it is alleged, may have even been using a cell phone at the time of the collision. The collision is still under investigation. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has been quoted as saying this accident was “one of the worst train accidents in modern history in California.”

According to a recent report by The Federal Railroad Administration Office of Safety Analysis, January 2008 to June 2008 saw the following statistics regarding the railroad industry:
