Railroad Dash Cams

When train accidents occur, they almost always involve serious property damage, injuries and fatalities.

It is estimated that in the U.S. alone, train collisions with a vehicle occur once every 2 hours. If your train is found to be speeding in a residential area, then you are held legally responsible for all damages and injuries incurred. Protect your train line from legal liabilities with railroad dash cams from Tracknet.

The TrackNet Difference

Railroad Dash Cam System

There are enough tragic facts about train accidents that support the idea that train cabs should be equipped with a railroad dash cam. According to the Federal Railroad Administration:

  • More than two people every day are killed by a train in the U.S.
  • Trains are estimated to kill 1 person every 100 minutes
  • There were 11, 896 train accidents in 2014 that resulted in 804 fatalities
  • Each year nearly 1,000 people are killed in train-related accidents

Aside from the pain, suffering and emotional loss, railroad fleet management doesn’t want to be held liable for such a tragic accident, and the insurance company will fight to deny or reduce benefits.

With a TrackNet railroad dash cam, you will have footage that shows exactly what happened and what your driver was doing at the time of the accident.
