Accidents with trains: causes, consequences

Railway transport, according to the public, is considered the least dangerous. Most passengers would prefer it to him, if the issue of the duration of the trip is not considered the main one. Although the statistics for injuries in air travel is still less. Everyone knows that tragic train accidents are possible, but everyone hopes that this will not happen to them. Meanwhile, a disappointing "primacy" among all types of passenger transportation belongs to road transport.

Accidents on the railway

Transportation by this mode of transport is associated with a high concentration of freight or passenger traffic. To ensure the effectiveness of deliveries, you have to compress the graphics, increase the number of wagons in the formulations. This leads to additional loads on the railway tracks, the canvas beneath them, bearing structures. The wear of trains, locomotives, regulating and dispatching equipment is increasing. The load on the railway manager and maintenance personnel is also growing. Everything is taken into consideration, it seems to happen with the observance of specifications, but accidents with trains still happen.

Each wreck has its own story, causes, consequences. The derailment of the railroad train, which caused its overturning, rarely does without human casualties. Trauma and injury can not be avoided. This is due to the design features of the wagons, the principles of placement of passengers in them, their relation to the possibility of situations that may pose a threat to life and health. At the same time, it is difficult to imagine how to effectively improve the safety of passengers. Composition of the train from the rails and the overturning of the car are accidents, it is impossible to prepare for them. The only correct solution is a set of measures to reduce the risks of their occurrence.

Technical reasons

As it turns out, to paint on paper is easier than embodying. One of the main reasons is the technical condition of the railway tracks. It's no secret that most of them were laid several decades ago. Since then, increased speed and load. But there is no way to change the way for new conditions or to lay new ones. This is associated with serious costs. In the best case, a partial replacement of the web is carried out in areas with the most pronounced wear.

The same can be said about the rolling stock. The technique also wears out, the aging of the metal occurs inevitably. Therefore, accidents with trains are inevitable, but we must try not to allow them. But how? If the replacement is not replaced by a worn out engine component, the train will still travel with the output on wheel pairs. This approach is partly justified - not to stop the mass transportation. We have to devote more time to inspections and additional maintenance. But from this the cars do not become newer.

Human factor

Accidents and crashes for these reasons can not be predicted. But one thing, if the wreck of a passenger train is connected with objective reasons. The human body is a flexible system, but it is not iron. Health problems can be both for the dispatcher and for the driver. Not every medical examination can identify these risks.

Another question is when the cause of the crash is unscrupulous performance of official duties, negligence, gross violation of safety rules. Particularly indicative are cases when investigating the causes of accidents reveals the facts of being in the workplace of persons in a state of intoxication.

How to justify the actions of the driver, trying to make up for the time of delay in transit by increasing speed in a dangerous area? And the situation when, when putting things in order in the cab, the cleaning lady could accidentally set the locomotive "standing under the steam", and at the same time it did not have a single specialist to stop it?

Racing train drivers for the first time to enter the station and ignoring the prohibitory signal of the semaphore - the cynicism over the passengers. The unpreparedness of train crews to eliminate the consequences of a fire and the frequent shortage of means to extinguish them can have unfortunate consequences even without the fact of a train crash. The above-mentioned situations are far from being a complete list of negligent attitudes to official duties at transport facilities with an increased risk for life.

Fatal accidents: train crashes

It is difficult to compare the severity of the consequences of disasters, if there were human casualties and a large number of injured passengers. But in order to understand the danger posed by the accident on the railway, it is necessary to remember at least some of them. Thus, an accident in the Krasnoyarsk Territory in 1958 occurred when two freight trains were transporting oil products in cisterns. The reason is a malfunction of the semaphore. On the parallel road was a passenger train. The fire after the explosion led to the death of more than 60 people.

The Rostov Region, 1987. Then the station could not slow down before the station, and after that the train locomotive could be urgently braked. The safety rules were violated, as a result - a collision with the passenger train standing near the apron. The result of the crash: more than 100 people were killed and even more were seriously injured.

Ufa, 1989 year. The leakage of liquefied gas on the main pipeline led to the explosion of the cloud of its evaporation. This happened in the immediate vicinity of the roads, at which time two passenger trains passed. The largest catastrophe in the USSR then killed nearly 600 people.

Accidents with trains in dreams

Ironically, the human brain, even in the absence of references to rail travel, in some cases is able to reproduce them in the subconscious. And, according to researchers, dreams with train crashes can also have a warning character. While there is no way to confirm or deny that such visions can be prophetic. However, it makes sense at least to think about the reasons for their occurrence.

The accident on the railway, seen in a dream, can symbolize the need to be careful and be prepared for any unexpected situations. First of all, as experts say, this concerns financial issues. If in the visions a person is in the epicenter of a catastrophe, but everything goes well - there are prerequisites in real life to get out of a serious situation without significant damage. If the damage was not avoided, such a dream can warn of frivolity and imprudent actions, which, most likely, are doomed to failure in advance.
