The study addresses the concern about the potential for diesel fuel fires in railroad accidents to fatally injure trapped crewmembers, consume cargo, contribute to hazardous materials fires in the train, and endanger nonrailroad property near the accident site. The specific issues discussed in the study are: the adequacy of the current design of the locomotive fuel tank, the factors that affect the current design of locomotive fuel tanks, and the sufficiency of research to improve the integrity of fuel tanks or to improve fuel containment.
