Excerpt
Excerpt: The National Transportation Safety Board is an independent Federal agency charged by Congress with investigating transportation accidents, determining their probable cause, and making recommendations to prevent similar accidents from occurring. We are providing the following information to urge your organization to take action on the safety recommendations in this letter. The Safety Board is vitally interested in these recommendations because they are designed to prevent accidents and save lives. These recommendations address the Northeast Illinois Regional Commuter Railroad (Metra) train operations, including the development of locomotive engineer task management skills, the calling of signal indications over the radio, and the installation of a positive train control system. These recommendations are derived from the Safety Board?s investigation of the October 12, 2003, Metra train 519 derailment in Chicago, Illinois, and are consistent with the evidence we found and the analysis we performed. As a result of this investigation, the Safety Board has issued five safety recommendations and reiterated a previously issued safety recommendation; three of the five recommendations are addressed to Metra. The Safety Board would appreciate a response from you within 90 days addressing the actions you have taken or intend to take to implement our recommendations.
