    Locomotive Crashworthiness of Transportation

    © U.S. Department Locomotive Crashworthiness of Transportation Federal Railroad and Cab W orking Conditions Administration Report to Congress Office of Safety Assurance and Compliance September 1996 stives THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20590 Septem ber 18, 1996 The Honorable Albert Gore, Jr. President o f the Senate Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear M r. President: I am pleased to submit the enclosed report prepared by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) on “Locomotive Crashworthiness and Cab Working Conditions,” as requested by the Rail Safety Enforcement and Review Act, Public Law 102-365. This report responds to the congressional mandate to report on issues related to: • health and safety of locomotive cab working conditions; • effectiveness of Association of American Railroads (AAR) Specification S-580; and • benefits and cost of additional locomotive crashworthiness features. The report summarizes the findings of FRA’s study, which included research on locomotive crashworthiness features, extensive consultations with a wide range of interested parties, and a field survey of actual locomotive working conditions. These findings indicate that a number of the crashworthiness features and working condition improvements identified in the Act merit further action by FRA in cooperation with the private sector. Identified priority safety improvements include implementation of stronger collision posts and fu ll height corner posts, incorporation of a crash refuge, improved fuel tank design, and improved methods to control noise and temperature levels inside the locomotive cab. Consistent with FRA’s emphasis on promoting a collaborative approach to railroad safety, FRA w ill seek the participation of railroads, employee representatives, manufacturers and suppliers, and other interested persons in determining the specific actions that may be appropriate to advance the safety and health of railroad crew members, based on the results of this study and other information that the parties may make available.
