WASHINGTON, Despite resolutions opposing the use
of remote control engines in other parts of the state, Tacoma, Washington
experienced a near-fatal rail accident November 13 when a remote controlled
Union Pacific locomotive smashed into an inbound freight container train.
The accident in the rail yard near the Port of Tacoma on Puget Sound
resulted in the puncturing the engine's fuel tanks, and causing two cars to
derail. "We know that many of our rail members observe remote control
rail engines that are kept in unsecured locations on a daily basis and that
hazardous materials travel through their rail yards on most days. Additionally, 61 communities have passed remote
control locomotive safety resolutions.

MONTREAL----Bombardier
Transportation announced today that it received an order from
Trenitalia (Italian Railways) for the supply of 100 E464 electric
locomotives. This new contract comes after an initial order for
50 units placed in 1996 followed by three additional options for 90,
100 and 48 units received in 1999 , 2001 and 2003, respectively.5 MW and
a top-speed of 160 km/h, the E464 product represents state -of-the-art
technology for medium-power 3kV DC locomotives. In Italy, the E-type
locomotives are a success, just like the TRAXX family locomotives are
in Germany and Switzerland", commented Edmund Schlummer, President,
Locomotives + Freight, Bombardier Transportation.

"A majority of the respondents reported that trains carrying hazardous
materials pass through their cities and near schools, government buildings and
other likely terrorist targets," Murphy said. If the runaway engine
had hit a tank car full of chlorine gas or another toxic chemical, the wind
could have carried it into the city of Tacoma, and possibly have contaminated
Puget Sound.

Trenitalia will use the E464 locomotives , which have been in
successful revenue service on Italian tracks since 1999, to reinforce
and partially substitute the present fleet of locomotives providing
passenger regional transportation . It also
has an industrial site in Vado Ligure, which has been manufacturing
rail equipment since 1871.
"This accident could have been fatal had the engine hit a chlorine tank,
instead of the fuel tank," said John Murphy, director of the Teamsters Rail
Conference. "No machine can ever replace the eyes and ears of a
dedicated, unionized rail employee.
