The Federal Railroad Administration is warning rail workers about the dangers of rolling equipment following the death of a Norfolk Southern worker last week in Alabama.
The incident happened just after 5 p.m. on Feb. 5 in Decatur, Alabama, when 55-year-old train engineer Chris Wilson, a 30-year veteran, died after several uncontrolled train cars crashed into his locomotive.
The cause is under investigation; by the FRA and onsite investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board.
