Amtrak Collision in Chicago

Amtrak Chicago Train Accident

It's a bad scene when trains collide, at least the collision of an Amtrak train with a NS freight train on the south side of Chicago only resulted in minor injuries. It usually takes a while to sort these things out, so no idea yet as to which train was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Hopefully collisions like this won't become more frequent as passenger rail service just keeps growing and growing ridership, and freight rail keeps gaining traffic - and shared right-of-ways become more crowded. At least in the Chicago area they have a relatively innovative program - Chicago Regional Environmental and Transportation Efficiency Program (CREATE) - that has a bunch of projects that look to make shared ROWs safer for passenger travel.
