Products: n/a. Risk band: Low   RobotRisk index 7.0/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 19th percentile of 62 other companies.

Analyst brief

Metro-North's record contains one entry: the December 2013 Spuyten Duyvil derailment, a fatality event rated severity 5, attributed in the record to the absence of positive train control or an alerter system to catch engineer error. This is a single catastrophic event with no regulatory citation entry accompanying it in the data provided. The index of 7.1 and percentile of 17.7 place Metro-North in the low band, but the low percentile relative to the broader "other" category indicates most peer entities in that category carry higher index values. The record shows no pattern beyond this one entry.
