What the Most Common Caltrain Accidents?
Caltrain is a commuter rail transit line that serves large portions of the San Francisco metro area and the Santa Clara Valley. Similar to many other railroads, serious concerns have been raised about safety of Caltrain railroad operations, and its pedestrian and road crossings. Far too many railroad accidents still happen in Northern California. When commuter rail accidents do occur, the consequences can be catastrophic. Tragically, there were nine confirmed Caltrain accident fatalities reported in the first seven months of 2019 alone. Some of the most common Caltrain accidents include:
- Railroad crossing collisions;
- Pedestrians collisions at crossing or on tracks;
- Multi-train crashes; and
