Federal investigators looking into the cause of a fatal train collision near Cayce are interviewing members of the CSX railroad crew that had parked a freight train on a side track where the wreck occurred, a state official familiar with the investigation said.
Tom Allen, who heads the Office of Regulatory Staff’s railroad safety division, said the National Transportation Safety Board, his agency and the Federal Railroad Administration started interviews Monday morning. The interviews are standard procedure after any fatal train wreck.
