It is estimated that across the United States every two hours a railroad accident occurs in which either a pedestrian or a vehicle is struck by a train.

Railroad accidents include pedestrian accidents, collisions with other trains, collisions with vehicles on the track as well as train derailments and equipment failure.

Train accidents occur for a variety of reasons and some railroads still utilize technology that was developed over seventy (70) years ago. The US Department of Transportation has determined that 60% of accidental deaths occur at unprotected railroad crossings and nearly 80% of railroad crossings in the US have no signs, lights, or safety gates. According to the Federal Railroad Administration there are 2,547 injured from train accidents annually which equals a train accident approximately every ninety (90) minutes.
