Four major subway or commuter railroad accidents in the past 10 months in the U.S.

A recent railroad accident in San Francisco, CA marked the fourth major railroad injury accident in the past ten months, according to The New York Times.

Forty-eight people were injured; four seriously, in the San Francisco train wreck, after the operator allegedly failed to engage the emergency brake, causing the train to slam into another parked train.

Twenty-five people died in a railroad accident in Los Angeles, when a commuter train crashed into a freight train. The conductor was sending text messages on his cellphone while he was operating the train, seconds before the crash.

One trolley rear-ended another in Boston, causing 50 people to be injured in Boston. The trolley conductor admitted to sending text messages when the crash occurred.

The most recent train accident was one that happened in Washington, DC, when nine people lost their lives after one subway train rear-ended another. 

If you or someone you know has suffered an injury on the job, contact railroad worker accident injury lawyer Brian Beckcom immediately at 877.724.7800.
