ROSEDALE, Md. — The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released a preliminary report on Wednesday, June 12, in the fiery CSX train derailment that occurred in Rosedale on May 28, when a trash truck and train collided. In their report, the NTSB revealed the crossing where the train collided with a truck gave almost no warning for drivers; the stop signs were barely visible.<\/p>\n

The NTSB says the stop signs at the rail crossing were faded; one was hung upside down and facing away from the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be looking at how long those signs may have been in a state of disrepair. We\u2019ll be looking at that,\u201d said NTSB board member Robert Sumwalt.<\/p>\n

The report also stated that the highway grade crossing had no active warning lights or crossing gates.<\/p>\n

The incident happened on May 28 when a CSX train, carrying chemicals, ran into a trash truck in Rosedale, MD and then derailed and exploded causing a shock wave that sent a huge plume of black smoke into the sky. The 50 year-old trash truck driver was seriously injured in the accident.<\/p>\n

The NTSB says part of the continuing investigation includes examining the mechanical function of the truck that was hit by the train.<\/p>\n
