The National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation into the September 12 train crash near Los Angeles could take a year to complete, officials said.
Twenty-five people were killed and 135 others injured when a Metrolink passenger train collided with a freight train near Chatsworth, Calif.
The NTSB’s final report will identify the likely cause of the crash and give recommendations that address other contributing factors. The agency says that, historically, 84% of its recommendations have been adopted by the railroad industry.
Investigators will determine how each victim died and will also examine whether the crashworthiness of the passenger cars played a role in the deaths and injuries.
Meanwhile, Metrolink is offering a refund to those customers who purchased monthly or 10-Trip tickets before September 13 and no longer want to ride the Ventura County Line.
