Sunset Limited

Amtrak/NTSB Investigation

On September 22, 1993, Amtrak’s eastbound Sunset Limited en route from Los Angeles to Miami, carrying 220 persons on board, roared across the Big Bayou Canot Bridge near Mobile, Alabama and derailed.

Three locomotive units, the baggage and dormitory cars, and two of the six passenger cars were catapulted into the water. It was the worst train disaster in U.S. history. The National Transportation Safety Board was called in to investigate and used forensic engineering and metallurgy to discover the cause of this accident.

TMBA was asked to recreate several animations of the accident scene based on the findings of the NTSB.

This wreck occurred after a CSX Transportation swing bridge over the Big Bayou Canot in southwestern Alabama (about 10 miles northeast of Mobile) was struck at approximately 2:45 AM by a barge being pushed by the towboat Mauvilla (owned and operated by Warrior and Gulf Navigation of Chickasaw, Alabama), whose pilot had become disoriented in heavy fog.

The collision forced the bridge approximately three feet out of alignment and severely kinked the track.

At approximately 2:53 AM,[1] Amtrak's Sunset Limited train, powered by three locomotives (one GE Genesis P40DC number 819 and two EMD F40PHs, numbers 262 and 312) en route from Los Angeles, California to Orlando, Florida with 220 passengers and crew aboard, crossed the bridge at high speed and derailed at the kink.

The locomotives slammed into the bridge superstructure, causing its destruction. The lead locomotive embedded itself nose-first into the canal bank and the other locomotives, as well as the baggage car, dormitory car and two of the six passenger cars, plunged into the water.

The locomotives' fuel tanks, each of which held several thousand gallons of diesel fuel, ruptured upon impact, resulting in a massive fuel spill and a fire. Forty-seven people, 42 of whom were passengers, were killed, many by drowning, others by fire/smoke inhalation. Another 103 were injured. The towboat's four crewmembers were not injured.

Immediately prior to the accident, the Mauvilla had made a wrong turn and entered an un-navigable channel of water. The towboat's pilot was not properly trained on how to read his radar and thus, owing to the very poor visibility in the fog and his lack of experience, did not realize that he was off-course.

Although he was aware that he had struck something when his tow collided with the bridge, his initial supposition was that one of the barges had merely run aground. Such an assumption would have been unwarranted due to the relatively abrupt nature of a collision with a stationary object.

The bridge span had actually been designed to rotate so it could be converted to a swing bridge by adding suitable equipment. No such conversion had ever been performed, but the span had not been adequately secured against unintended movement.

Despite the displacement of the bridge, the continuously welded rails did not break. As a result, the track circuit controlling the bridge approach block signals remained closed (intact) and the nearest signal continued to display a clear (green) aspect.

Had one of the rails been severed by the bridge's displacement, the track circuit would have opened, causing the approach signal to display a stop (red) aspect and the preceding signal an amber approach indication.

This might well have given the Amtrak engineer sufficient time to stop his train or at least reduce speed in an effort to minimize the severity of the accident.

Emd Sd38 by Jody, Iosias [Paperback] $87.62 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. An EMD SD38 is a 6axle diesel locomotive built by General Motors ElectroMotive Division between May 1967 and October 1971. Power was provided by an EMD 645 16cylinder engine which generated 2000 horsepower. As compared to the EMD 645E3 engine that was turbocharged and produced 3000HP from the V16 configuration. This locomotive shared the same common frame with the SD39, SD40 and SD45. 52 examples of this locomotive model were built for American railroads, one was built for Canadian railroads, four were exported to a mining firm in Jamaica and seven were exported to a mining firm in Venezuela. The SD38 was succeeded by an upgraded Dash 2 version called the EMD SD382.

Emd Sd32eco by Adriaan, Germain [Paperback] $87.62 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The EMD SD32ECO is a 3,150 hp CC dieselelectric locomotive rebuilt by ElectroMotive Diesel. It is primarily the application of a conversion kit to an existing EMD SD60type locomotive. This involves replacing the existing 710G3A V16 prime mover with an EPA TierIIcompliant 710G3BT2 turbocharged V12, with Electronic fuel injection. The prime mover is mated to an AR10 alternator for traction power, a CA6 alternator for control power, and a computerized control system. At least 8 Union Pacific SD60s have been returned to EMD for this rebuild. This conversion does not alter the external appearance of the locomotive.

Emd Sw1 by Naoum, Jordan [Paperback] $78.07 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The EMD SW1 was a 600horsepower (450 kW) dieselelectric switcher locomotive built by General Motors ElectroMotive Division between December 1938 and November 1953. Final assembly was at EMDs plant at La Grange, Illinois. The SW1 was the second generation of 600 hp switcher from EMD, succeeding the SW and SC.

An EMD SD40A is a sixaxle diesel locomotive built by General Motors ElectroMotive Division between 1969 and 1970. 18 examples of this locomotive were built exclusively for the Illinois Central Railroad. The SD40A was basically an SD40 built on an SDP45 frame. The longer SDP45 frame allowed for a larger, 5000 gallon fuel tank. This locomotive is powered by a sixteencylinder EMD 645E3 diesel engine, which could provide 3,000 horsepower. Illinois Central Railroad used the SD40A as a longrange roadswitcher, utilizing the larger fuel tank found on the SDP45. The Soo Line Railroad eventually acquired five of these units and as of 2005 they are out of service. Six other units remain in service under IC, which is now a subsidiary of Canadian National Railway.

Emd Gp20d by Bert, Adam Cornelius [Paperback] $76.47 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The GP20D is a fouraxle BB switcher built by MotivePower Industries and ElectroMotive Diesel. It is supplied with a Caterpillar 3516 V16 prime mover which develops a total power output of 2,000 horsepower. To date, only 40 units have been produced by EMD, all of which were manufactured during June of 2000. The GP20D is also a hood unit with lowered long and short hoods based on MotivePower Industries earlier MP2000D locomotives. The changes between the MK2000D and the GP20D are primarily in the control electronics, making them easier to use than the older model. Although the GP20D is marketed as a switcher, it has a top speed of 70 mph, and is usually fitted with dynamic brakes, making it suitable for road switcher duties as well. The similar appearing EMD GP15D does not have dynamic brakes.

Like those other models, the E5 had a sloping slant nose equipped with two headlights a regular stationary headlight and a gyrating signal light. The E5 was the sixth model in a long line of passenger diesels of similar design known as EMD Eunits.

EMD Locomotives (Hardcover) $53.39 In February 2005, General Motors announced its decision to sell its Electro-Motive Division (EMD), thus ending its 75-year association with one of the most renowned brands in railroading. Looking at the heritage of the venerable EMD in light of this momentous development, this monumental volume offers an overview of the great locomotive maker unprecedented in its scope and unparalleled in the spectacular quality of its photographs. Leading railroad author and photographer Brian Solomon provides an authoritative, comprehensive account of EMD’s history, from its genesis in 1922 as the independent Electro-Motive Corporation, to GM’s acquisition of the company in 1930, and on through the age of today’s ""superpower"" locomotives. From the earliest 1920s railcars to the iconic mid-century F units, workhorse GP and SD locomotives, and Dash series; to the company’s race with its chief competitor, General Electric, to reach 6,000 horsepower, EMD’s complete story unfolds here in depth and detail, illustrated with a wealth of archival photos from across the country, as well as a remarkable collection of color photography from top railway photographers of the last half century.
