Figure 6. Figure 6 is a bar graph showing the number of main-track train derailments and the number of main-track train collisions per year from 2001 to 2010. In 2001 there were 7 main-track train collisions and 132 main-track train derailments.
Amtrak derailments have been flat in recent years, according to the Federal Railroad Administrationâs office of safety analysis.
