NTSB launches Go Team to investigate Amtrack derailment in Kansas

Preliminary indications are that four passenger cars, three mail cars, and eight road railers (truck trailers mounted on railroad wheels) were derailed. The four passenger cars are on their sides. Initial reports indicate that there are no fatalities and about 31 injuries. The four lead locomotives and two baggage cars did not derail.

The team is led by Investigator-in-Charge Jay Kivowitz. He is being joined by nine rail investigators and public affairs officer Terry Williams. NTSB Member George Black is accompanying the team and will be the principal spokesman for the on-scene investigation.

The team is expected to arrive at the scene at mid-day.
