The National Transportation Safety Board conducted investigations of 45 selected railroad accidents or incidents that occurred during a 1-year period that began in March 1988, and reviewed reports of its past major accident investigations and special studies related to the transport of hazardous materials by rail, studies performed by other organizations, and the training on hazardous materials provided by some rail carriers. The safety issues discussed in the report are the adequacy of the protection provided by some tank cars for the risks associated with certain products transported in these tank cars; emergency response planning for railroad accidents involving hazardous materials; and training of railroad personnel in the handling of a hazardous materials emergency. Recommendations concerning these issues were made to rail carriers, railroad industry associations, public safety groups, and Federal agencies.
