Excludes uncoupled rolling stock derailments such as those involving only light locomotives and wagons. The annual reporting period for Great Britain runs from April to March. Statistics for Great Britain are for potentially higher-risk train accidents (PHRTAs) occurring on or affecting the running line only, and with the most potential to result in serious consequences. They exclude the London Underground network, trams, metros, and non-mainline networks. Statistics for the United States exclude derailments on isolated networks, such as metropolitan transit systems that are not connected to the wider network.201920 202021 202122 202223 202324 TOTALDerailments 38 35 34 45 26 178Australia Train Km (million) 85.5 84.0 85.4 84.9 84.6 424.5Rate 0.444 0.417 0.398 0.530 0.307 0.419Derailments1 9 9 2 2 0 22Great Britain Train Km (million)2 33.3 30.0 33.8 31.9 31.4 160.4Rate 0.270 0.300 0.059 0.063 0.000 0.137Derailments3 279 282 276 271 253 1361United States Train Km (million)4 438.5 413.6 408.2 410.2 412.2 2,082.7Rate 0.636 0.682 0.676 0.661 0.614 0.653Sources:1Rail Safety and Standards Board, Annual Health and Safety Report (accessed 27 September 2024) 2 Office of Rail and Road, Freight Rail Usage, Table 1333 (accessed 27 September 2024)3 Federal Railroad Administration Office of Safety Analysis, 3.18 - Accident by State/Railroad (accessed 10 September 2024)4 Federal Railroad Administration Office of Safety Analysis, 1.13Freight/Passenger Operations Ten Year Overview(accessed 10 September 2024)36 ONRSR Rail Safety Report 20232024'
