The hearing will begin at 9:00 a.m., is open to all, and the attendance is free (no registration required). All five NTSB Board Members will serve as members of the Board of Inquiry. The NTSB Chairman Deborah A.P. Hersman will preside over the Investigative Hearing. On June 24, 2012, about 10:01 a.m. central daylight time, eastbound UP freight train ZLAAH–22 and westbound UP freight train AAMMLX–22 collided head on while operating on straight track on UP’s Pratt Subdivision near Goodwell, Oklahoma. As a result of the collision, both crewmembers on the eastbound train and one crewmember on the westbound train were fatally injured. The other crewmember on the westbound train jumped from the locomotive prior to the collision and survived with no major injuries. Fuel tanks from the derailed locomotives were ruptured, which created a dieselfed fire. Damage was estimated at $14.79 million. Although this accident investigation is still ongoing, evidence points to the fact that this collision could have been prevented by a positive train control (PTC) system. Analysis of the accident, along with conclusions and a determination of probable cause, will become public at a later date after a final report on the investigation is completed, and reviewed and adopted by the NTSB Members. The investigative hearing is being held to discuss UP’s management of human error in its operations and system safety programs, and the status VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:09 Feb 14, 2013 Jkt 229001 1.
