A railway worker died on CSX train tracks in Ranoke Rapids after a construction train was hit on Tuesday afternoon.
Ranoke Rapids Police, who is investigating the deadly workplace accident, said the CSX employee died at 1:30 pm on the company’s tracks near the 10th Street Crossing.
A group of workers hired by CSX were putting in new railroad relations when a construction train hit one of them.
An emergency call from the scene raised on the radio traffic from the broadcast was shouting a collar, “Emergency! Emergency! Somebody just killed.”

Statements from Federal Railway Administration:
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is investigating the employee as we are all on the decision of the railway employee. As a background, please see our accident probe fact sheet and note that the FRA does not release the initial conclusions or the initial determination of the cause.
The duration of the accident investigation varies, but in general we want to complete them within 6 months. Once finalized, the investigation reports are posted in our allibrery.
In addition, the Railways will have to submit a form on qualification phenomena under the FRA’s accident/incident reporting rules (49 CFR Part 225), in which they are 30 days after the month. Those submissions depict an accident or rail route of the incident and after three months the FRA safety data and reporting are posted on the website.
