Products: n/a. Risk band: Low RobotRisk index 13.2/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 40th percentile of 62 other companies.
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. Index sits at 13.4 with a percentile of 41.9, placing the carrier in the low band relative to the full set despite the severity-5 rating of its sole listed event. 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.
