When an accident involves multiple railroads, each railroad must report its data. As a result, there can be multiple records for one accident. This dataset has been modified to pull and display one record for each accident. Highway-rail crossing incidents have also been removed from this dataset because they are not considered train accidents.\n\nTo see the full dataset with all reports with all data for all accidents, please visit https://data.transportation.gov/Railroads/Rail-Equipment-Accident-Incident-Data/85tf-25kj. \n\nThe data dictionary can be found here: https://datahub.transportation.gov/api/views/byy5-w977/files/ac84a1c8-56d4-4a21-85c2-3a33080ab720?download=true&filename=Form54_Data_Dictionary.xlsx. \n\nFor information on how to filter and export data, please visit: https://data.transportation.gov/stories/s/Download-Export-and-Print-User-Guide/s8hj-vns8/.\n\nTo view the data release schedule, please visit: https://data.transportation.gov/stories/s/Data-Release-Schedule/qfc9-tapk/.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "describedBy": "https://data.transportation.gov/api/views/byy5-w977/columns.json", "describedByType": "application/json", "downloadURL": "https://data.transportation.gov/api/v3/views/byy5-w977/query.json?accessType=DOWNLOAD", "mediaType": "application/json"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "describedBy": "https://data.transportation.gov/api/views/byy5-w977/columns.xml", "describedByType": "application/xml", "downloadURL": "https://data.transportation.gov/api/v3/views/byy5-w977/export.xml?accessType=DOWNLOAD", "mediaType": "application/xml"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://data.transportation.gov/api/v3/views/byy5-w977/export.csv?accessType=DOWNLOAD", "mediaType": "text/csv"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://data.transportation.gov/api/v3/views/byy5-w977/export.kml?accessType=DOWNLOAD", "mediaType": "application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://data.transportation.gov/api/v3/views/byy5-w977/export.kmz?accessType=DOWNLOAD", "mediaType": "application/vnd.google-earth.kmz"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://data.transportation.gov/api/v3/views/byy5-w977/query.geojson?accessType=DOWNLOAD", "mediaType": "application/geo+json"}], "identifier": "https://data.transportation.gov/api/views/byy5-w977", "issued": "2025-12-18", "keyword": ["accident", "form 54", "rail accident", "rail equipment", "train accident"], "landingPage": "https://data.transportation.gov/stories/s/wjun-6kqb", "license": "https://www.usa.gov/government-works", "modified": "2026-07-15", "programCode": ["021:036"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Federal Railroad Administration"}, "theme": ["Railroads"], "title": "Rail Equipment Accident/Incident Data (Form 54) Subset \u2013 Unique Train Accidents (Not at Grade Crossings)"}
