NTSB: CSX workers were walking on tracks when struck, killed
The 2017 deaths of two CSX Transportation workers were the result of their decision to walk on an active Amtrak train track in Washington, D.C., the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said in a report issued Tuesday.
As a result of its investigation, the NTSB issued a safety recommendation to CSX and Amtrak that they prohibit employees from walking or working too close to adjacent tracks of another railroad unless the employees are protected by means of communication between the two railroads.
