CSX Corp.’s lax approach to safety caused a fatal collision between a passenger train and one of the company’s parked freight trains last year, U.S. accident investigators concluded Tuesday.
The National Transportation Safety Board cited what it called multiple layers of failure at CSX that led a conductor to leave a switch in the wrong position, sending an Amtrak train onto a side track. The NTSB also cited U.S. railroad regulators for repeated failures to adopt safety requirements.
