Addendum Page Change Date 54 Figure 24: Row 5 - Track section location amended 7 Jan 2014 76 Buffer stop design criterion – QR response 255 t 5 March 2014 Safety summary What happened At about 0940 on 31 January 2013, a Queensland Rail Train T842 at Cleveland station passenger train (T842) failed to stop at the Cleveland station platform and collided with the end-of-line buffer stop, the platform and the station building at a speed of about 31 km/h. There were 19 people on board the train (including the driver and a guard); three people were on the platform and five were in the station building. A number of people were treated for minor injuries and transported to hospital for further examination. At the request of the Queensland Government, the ATSB Source: Dept of Transport and Main initiated an investigation into the accident. Roads, Queensland What the ATSB found The ATSB’s investigation found that local environmental conditions had resulted in the formation of a contaminant substance on the rail running surface. This caused poor adhesion at the contact point between the train’s wheels and the rail head. The braking effectiveness of train T842 was reduced as a result of reduced adhesion and the train was unable to stop before hitting the end-of- line buffer stop. The ATSB concluded that Queensland Rail’s risk management processes prior to the accident had not adequately assessed, recorded, managed and communicated the risks associated with operating trains on their network under low adhesion conditions. In addition, Queensland Rail had not undertaken exercises to test the preparedness and effectiveness of their emergency management system. Shortfalls were identified in the response to the accident with respect to internal communications within train control and between staff at Cleveland station which resulted in incomplete information being provided to key personnel. What's been done as a result Queensland Rail initiated a risk mitigation strategy in response to the collision of train T842 at Cleveland station on 31 January 2013. The strategy included the formation of a Wheel Rail Interface Working Group that identified the wheel/rail interface risks, particularly for Queensland Rail’s fleet of IMU160/SMU260 class trains being operated under certain conditions. Queensland Rail have also implemented a series of risk controls including identifying localised black spot locations and applying vegetation control measures, treating rail-head contaminants, reviewing and updating driver training with enhanced train handling advice about wheel slide and the trialling of sanding equipment on IMU160/SMU260 class trains. Queensland Rail have now undertaken emergency exercises to test the effectiveness of their emergency response arrangements and are implementing new communication protocols for emergency incident response. Safety message Rail operators should recognise that train braking performance may be significantly impaired when local environmental conditions result in contaminated rail running surfaces and reduced wheel/rail adhesion. Rail operators should put appropriate measures in place to assess and mitigate the risk to the safe operation of trains under these conditions.

  • Section 4 ELECTRIC ROLLING STOCK EQUIPMENT POWER
    Section 4 ELECTRIC ROLLING STOCK EQUIPMENT POWER 4.1 EQUIPMENT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS The rolling stock equipment to be selected must be designed and built in full accordance with the rules and regulations issued by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Recommendations issued by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA). On May 12, 1999, FRA issued comprehensive rules addressing rail vehicle design and construction in accordance with operating speeds. Tier I of the rules apply to "...railroad passengerequipment operating at speedsnot exceeding 125 mph..." "Unless otherwise specified, these requirements only apply to passenger equipment ordered on or after September 8, 2000 or placed in service for the first time on or after September 9, 2002. The rule also states that "The structural standards of this subpart. do not apply to passengerequipment if used exclusively on a rail line: (i) With no public highway-rail grade crossings; (ii) On which no freight operations occur at any time; (iii) On which only passengerequipment of compatible design is utilized; (iv) On which trains operate at speedsnot exceeding 79 mph. The rule provides for alternative compliance by demonstrating "...at least an equivalent of safety in such environment with respect to the protection of its occupants from serious injury in the case of a derailment or collision." Given the fact that JPB's equipment: a) operates, or may operate in the future, on the same lines as other freight and passengertrains; and b) that it will likely operate at speeds higher than 79 mph in the future, it is assumed that the electrically powered rolling stock will be required to meet the rules and regulations as written, with no waivers or alternative solutions.
