The Federal Railroad Administration said it has made a
preliminary determination that the derailment of a crude oil train
in Oregon earlier this month resulted from the failure of Union
Pacific Corp. to maintain its track.
The FRA said its preliminary investigation of the accident that
occurred on June 3 near Mosier, Ore., found specifically that the
derailment was caused by broken bolts that eventually allowed the
rails to be pushed outward as trains moved across them. The
findings were made in what the FRA said was a "preliminary factual
findings report."
The report said the train was traveling at about 25 miles an
hour, which was within the speed limit. A total of 16 tank cars
derailed, it said. During the derailment, one tank car was
punctured, which led to a fire that burned for about 14 hours, the
FRA report says.
The FRA said that the type of track bolts that were broken are
detectable by walking inspection and, among other things, uneven
wear of the track.
A spokesman for Union Pacific wasn't immediately available for
comment.
