The Economics of Railroad Safety
Author: Ian Savage
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 146155571X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
The American public has a fascination with railroad wrecks that goes back a long way. One hundred years ago, staged railroad accidents were popular events. At the Iowa State fair in 1896, 89,000 people paid $20 each, at current prices, to see two trains, throttles wide open, collide with each other. "Head-on Joe" Connolly made a business out of "cornfield meets" holding seventy-three events in thirty-six years. Picture books of train wrecks do good business presumably because a train wreck can guarantee a spectacular destruction of property without the messy loss of life associated with aircraft accidents. A "train wreck" has also entered the popular vocabulary in a most unusual way. When political manoeuvering leads to failure to pass the federal budget, and a shutdown is likely of government services, this is widely called a "train wreck. " In business and team sports, bumbling and lack of coordination leading to a spectacular and public failure to perform is also called "causing a train wreck. " A person or organization who is disorganized may be labelled a "train wreck. " It is therefore not surprising that the public perception of the safety of railroads centers on images of twisted metal and burning tank cars, and a general feeling that these events occur quite often. After a series of railroad accidents, such as occurred in the winter of 1996 or the summer of 1997, there are inevitable calls that government "should do something.

Factors Influencing Safety at Highway-rail Grade Crossings
Author: David W. Schoppert
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Railroad crossings
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
A comprehensive analysis and review was undertaken of available data and information applicable to the problem of improving safety at highway rail grade crossings. A probability model was developed for forecasting the probability of accident occurrence at crossings. The model allows the separate prediction of expected accidents which involve trains and accidents which do not involve trains but occur at the crossing.
