The purpose of an investigation by the RAIU is to improve railway safety by establishing, in so far as possible, the cause or causes of an accident or incident with a view to making recommendations for the avoidance of accidents in the future, or otherwise for the improvement of railway safety. It is not the purpose of an investigation to attribute blame or liability. The RAIU’s investigations are carried out in accordance with the Railway Safety Act 2005 and European railway safety directive 2004/49/EC. Any enquiries about this report should be sent to: RAIU Trident House Blackrock County Dublin Ireland RAIU iii Investigation Report 2011-R001 Laois Traincare Depot Derailment Executive Summary At 15.25 hours on the 20th January 2010 a Class 22000 six carriage train was scheduled to leave Laois Traincare Depot after routine servicing.

Technical Investigation Report on Train Derailment Incident at Hung Hom Station on MTR East Rail Line on 17 September 2019
港鐵東鐵綫 紅磡站列車出軌事故 技術調查報告 Technical Investigation Report on Train Derailment Incident at Hung Hom Station on MTR East Rail Line 事故日期︰2019 年 9 月 17 日 Date of Incident : 17 September 2019 英文版 English Version 出版日期︰2020 年 3 月 3 日 Date of Issue: 3 March 2020 CONTENTS Page Executive Summary 2 1 Objective 3 2 Background of Incident 3 3 Technical Details Relating to Incident 4 4 Incident Investigation 8 5 EMSD’s Findings 19 6 Conclusions 22 7 Measures Taken after Incident 22 Appendix I – Photos of Wheel Flange Marks, Broken Rails, Rail Cracks and Damaged Point Machines On-Site 23 1 Executive Summary On 17 September 2019, a passenger train derailed while it was entering Platform No. 1 of Hung Hom Station of the East Rail Line (EAL). This report presents the results of the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department’s (EMSD) technical investigation into the causes of the incident. The investigation of EMSD revealed that the cause of the derailment was track gauge widening1. The sleepers2 at the incident location were found to have various issues including rotting and screw hole elongation, which reduced the strength of the sleepers and their ability to retain the rails in the correct position. The track gauge under dynamic loading of trains would be even wider, and this excessive gauge widening caused the train to derail at the time of incident. After the incident, MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL) have reviewed the timber sleeper condition across the entire EAL route and replaced the sleepers of dissatisfactory condition. MTRCL were requested to enhance the maintenance regime to closely monitor the track conditions with reference to relevant trade practices to ensure railway safety. -
Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe
Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe Version 3 December 2017 This publication was prepared by Oleh Shchuryk, Research & Projects Manager, ECG – the Association of European Vehicle Logistics. Foreword The project to produce this book on ‘Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe’ was initiated during the ECG Land Transport Working Group meeting in January 2014, Frankfurt am Main. Initially, it was suggested by the members of the group that Oleh Shchuryk prepares a short briefing paper about the current status quo of rail transport and FVLs by rail in Europe. It was to be a concise document explaining the complex nature of rail, its difficulties and challenges, main players, and their roles and responsibilities to be used by ECG’s members. However, it rapidly grew way beyond these simple objectives as you will see. The first draft of the project was presented at the following Land Transport WG meeting which took place in May 2014, Frankfurt am Main. It received further support from the group and in order to gain more knowledge on specific rail technical issues it was decided that ECG should organise site visits with rail technical experts of ECG member companies at their railway operations sites. These were held with DB Schenker Rail Automotive in Frankfurt am Main, BLG Automotive in Bremerhaven, ARS Altmann in Wolnzach, and STVA in Valenton and Paris. As a result of these collaborations, and continuous research on various rail issues, the document was extensively enlarged. The document consists of several parts, namely a historical section that covers railway development in Europe and specific EU countries; a technical section that discusses the different technical issues of the railway (gauges, electrification, controlling and signalling systems, etc.); a section on the liberalisation process in Europe; a section on the key rail players, and a section on logistics services provided by rail. -
Compendium of Definitions and Acronyms for Rail Systems
APTA STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM APTA STD-ADMIN-GL-001-19 GUIDELINES First Published June 20, 2019 American Public Transportation Association 1300 I Street NW, 12th Floor East, Washington, DC, 20005 Compendium of Definitions and Acronyms for Rail Systems Abstract: This compendium was developed by the Technical Services & Innovation Department and published by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) to provide a glossary of commonly used definitions and acronyms in documents such as standards, recommended practices, and guidelines, so there is consistency within the rail transportation industry. Summary: APTA, through its subsidiary the North American Transit Services Association (NATSA), develops standards, recommended practices and guidelines for the benefit of public rail transportation. These tasks are accomplished by working groups consisting of members from rail transit agencies, manufacturers, consultants, engineers and other interested groups. Through the development of these documents, working groups have created a wide array of terms and abbreviations, many with varying definitions. This compendium has been developed to standardize the usage of such definitions and acronyms as it relates to rail operations, maintenance practices, designs and specifications. This document is dynamic in nature in that, over time, additional definitions and acronyms will be included. It is APTA’s intention that the document be sufficiently expanded at some point in the future to provide common usage of terms encompassing all rail industry requirements. Scope and purpose: This compendium applies to all rail agencies that operate commuter rail, heavy rail (subway systems), light rail, streetcars, and trolleys. The usage of these definitions and acronyms are voluntary. Nevertheless, it is the desire of APTA that the rail industry apply these terms to all documents such as standards, recommended practices, standard operating practices, standard maintenance practices, rail agency policies and procedures, and agency rule books. -
