Long Beach train wrecks can occur for numerous reasons. But the most common causes of train crashes are due to negligence.
These mishaps include:
Train operator negligence can be a reason for devastating accidents. An engineer is responsible for a train that weighs hundreds of tons.

Hence, whether passenger trains or freight trains, calamities often result in mass casualties.
Thus, when operators fail to conduct safe operations, they’re acceptable outside margins of error. Therefore, people get hurt.
