Book excerpt: Following a number of railway accidents, the Minister of Transport decided to delay re-introduction of amendments to the Railway Safety Act in order to give the department the opportunity to review current mechanisms for overseeing railway safety and ensuring regulatory compliance, and examine other possible improvements to the legislation. The review documented in this report was conducted over a four-month period by a project team of railway safety, risk management and regulatory experts. The study led to the identification of a number of railway safety system issues and the development of system improvements to address the issues. The system improvements recommended by the review will enhance the ability of the railway system to give reasonable assurance of the continuing state of railway safety.

Book excerpt: A fascinating account of one of America’s most important industries and its dangers. Throughout the early twentieth century, railroad safety steadily improved across the United States. But by the 1960s, American railroads had fallen apart, the result of a regulatory straightjacket that eroded profitability and undermined safety. Collisions, derailments, worker fatalities, and grade crossing mishaps skyrocketed, while hazmat disasters exploded into newspaper headlines. In Back on Track, his sequel to Death Rode the Rails, Mark Aldrich traces the history of railroad accidents beginning in 1965, when Congress responded to bankrupt and scandal-ridden carriers by enacting a new safety regime. Aldrich details the federalization of rail safety and the implementation of a massive grade crossing program. He touches on post-1976 economic deregulation, which provided critical financing that underwrote better public safety. He also explores how the National Transportation Safety Board acted as a public scold to shine bright lights on private failings, while Federal Railroad Administration regulations reinforced market incentives for better safety. Ultimately, Aldrich concludes, the past 50 years have seen great strides in restoring railroad safety while enhancing industry profitability. Arguing that it was not inadequate safety regulation but rather stifling economic regulation that initially caused an uptick in train accidents, Back on Track is both a paen to the return of more competitive railroading and the only comprehensive history of the safety of modern American railroads.

Book excerpt: "This Report is the culmination of a year of research, consultations and analyses of Canada's rail safety regime. Since the last Railway Safety Act Review in 2007, many changes have occurred in the railway industry and at Transport Canada, including the legislative changes recommended by that Review and the many other changes to regulations and requirements in the wake of the tragic Lac-Mégantic accident. Based on the mandate of this Review, a prime focus was to assess any gaps in the rail safety regime and issues where progress had been limited or incomplete"--Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1980, the Staggers Rail Act fostered substantial changes in the railroad industry. By 1995, fewer large freight railroads accounted for most of the industry's revenue and train miles. At the same time, these freight railroads substantially reduced their workforce and track networks. Congress and railroad labor have raised concerns that these changes in the industry could compromise safety. This report provides information on operational and safety trends in the railroad industry and describes how the Federal Railroad Admin. has responded to these trends by developing a new partnering approach for improving safety on the nation's rail lines.
