In its investigation of a railroad employee fatality in Kansas City, Kansas that occurred on Sept. 29, 2015, the NTSB determined the probable cause of the accident was a foreman being in the gage of the track, for unknown reasons, while a train switching movement was being performed by another crew. The Union Pacific Railroad foreman died after being struck by a remote-control train during switching operations. The NTSB’s report also states inadequate radio communications and inadequate work coordination between crews working in the yard contributed to the accident.
