Investigators say dispatching errors led to Union Pacific train crash that killed 2 workers
Dispatching errors combined with the failure of two backup systems allowed a Union Pacific train to slam into 75 railcars that had been parked on a side track for nine months in Southern California two years ago, killing an engineer and a conductor, according to a report issued Thursday. The National Transportation Safety Board's final report detailed what caused the crash in the desert near the Salton Sea in September 2022. Investigators determined that mistakes made by dispatchers at the railroad's headquarters in Omaha led to the train being routed directly into the parked railcars.
