Abstract:The FRA Guide for Preparing Accident/Incident Reports was reprinted in 1993. It
incorporates many suggestions received from representatives of various segments of the
railroad safety community. The primary goal of this revision was to improve uniformity of
reporting between railroads though additional clarification of the existing reporting
requirements. Because of this, comparisons of the accident/incident experience for the
current year with earlier years are still valid.
The codes and associated descriptions of the causes of train accidents were updated in the
new guide to better categorize the reasons why accidents occur. Although it is still
possible to compare major cause code groupings with earlier years, this ability may not
exist for all individual causes. This generally is the result of creating new causes to
describe situations previously being recorded in miscellaneous categories. The FRA has
created a conversion table for reassigning an earlier cause into the most appropriate
current code.
