WASHINGTON–(ENEWSPF)–February 14, 2012. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) today determined that the washout of a track structure and the failure to notify an oncoming train of the washout in time, caused the derailment of 19 cars. While the washout was discovered about an hour before the train’s arrival, Canadian National Railway Company’s (CN) inadequate emergency communication procedures prevented timely notification.
