rail accidents
Rail accidents are unexpected events involving trains that can cause damage, injuries, or loss of life. They often result from factors such as human error, track or signal failures, mechanical issues, or environmental conditions like weather. Common types include collisions with other trains or vehicles, derailments, and crashes into obstacles. Safety systems, regular maintenance, and strict operating procedures aim to prevent such incidents, but they can still occur due to complex interactions of technical and human factors. Understanding these causes helps improve safety measures and reduce future risks in rail transport.
