SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Recent
derailments have occurred involving
trains transporting large quantities of
petroleum crude oil and ethanol.
Preliminary investigation of one of these
recent derailments involving a crude oil
train indicates that a mechanical defect
involving a broken tank car wheel may
have caused or contributed to the
incident. FRA is is issuing Safety
Advisory 2015–01 to make
recommendations to enhance the
mechanical safety of the cars in trains
transporting large quantities of
flammable liquids. The Safety Advisory
recommends that railroads use highly
qualified individuals to conduct the
brake and mechanical inspections and
recommends a reduction to the impact
threshold levels the industry currently
uses for wayside detectors that measure
wheel impacts to ensure the wheel
integrity of tank cars in those trains.
