Products: n/a. Risk band: Elevated RobotRisk index 22.1/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 29 of 45 among Other companies with incidents (53 tracked).
Analyst brief
The register carries one entry for Amtrak: the December 2017 Cascades Train 501 derailment near DuPont, Washington, a fatality-severity event tied to Positive Train Control not yet being active on the route. Amtrak's index of 22.1 ranks 29 of 45 companies in Other with incident history. The record is a single catastrophic incident rather than a pattern, and its documentation lineage is regulator-driven, consistent with an NTSB-investigated passenger rail derailment. No trajectory can be established from one data point; the record reflects a discrete safety-system-implementation failure, not a recurring operational issue.
