About 2017 Washington Train Derailment
Amtrak Cascades passenger train 501 derailed near DuPont, Washington, US, on December 18, 2017 because Sound Transit failed to take steps to mitigate a curve at the accident location, and inadequately trained the train's engineer, according to the National Transportation Safety Board's final report.
