	Train Order Accidents
		When a train is in the clear on a siding to be passed, its markers are turned to show green (or yellow) to the rear when it is clear of the main track; otherwise, red markers show the train is not clear of the main track.
		Trains of the same class, and extra trains, must approach such points prepared to stop, unless a block system is in use and signals are clear.
		Operational accidents, which are the only kind that will be discussed here, are not as common as accidents due to bad flagging, passing signals at stop, failures of equipment, track or structures, or highway crossings, and usually are not as costly in lives, except when aggravated by other factors, such as fire.

		The FRA "call(ed) attention" to these accidents "because they indicate the possible involvement of alcohol and drugs in some of the more serious events of the past year and the difficulty faced by the investigating agencies, particularly in the absence of clear procedures to ensure that toxicological samples will be promptly obtained" (id. at 31516).
		FRA's decision to cover all operating employees in a particular train crew "reflects the fact that operating employees are most often at fault in alcohol and drug-related accidents and that some alcohol and drug-caused accidents in the past have involved apparent sequential or simultaneous failures of performance by two or more crew members.
		The agency acknowledged that impact accidents usually result from "human performance failures," but it nevertheless restricted the scope of this triggering event because it "recognize(d) that burdens on employees and the railroads should be subject to reasonable limitations" (ibid.).
