NTSB OPENS PUBLIC DOCKETS ON TWO RAIL INVESTIGATIONS

The National Transportation Safety Board today opened public

dockets on two on-going railroad accident investigations and

placed the dockets on its public website.

The accident dockets opened today are:

July 5, 2009, Lake Buena Vista, Florida. A train operator

was killed when two monorail passenger trains collided at

Walt Disney World Theme Park.

July 18, 2009, San Francisco, California. A collision

occurred between two MUNI light rail vehicles at the West

Portal Station, injuring 48 people.

The dockets can be accessed on the Board's website here:

and then hit the link to "Railroad."

The dockets contain factual information developed by

investigators. There is no determination of cause; that

will occur at a later date. This is a document release

only. No interviews will be conducted by the NTSB.
