There were half as many rail-car crashes in Ohio last year compared with a decade ago, despite an increase in train traffic. State officials say this is because of better warning systems at crossings.
The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio released its 2010 railroad statistics, which showed 64 car-rail crashes in 2010, down from 123 in 2001. Fatal crashes statewide fell from 13 in 2001 to four in 2010.
