Hi all, I'm planning on making a "List of rail accidents in the United States" page. It will be in my sandbox for now, if anyone would like to check it out. Eli81993 talk 16:11, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Not moved. There is consensus that the current naming is accurate and acceptable. — Amakuru ( talk) 10:48, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
– The use of the term "accident" is loaded and often not correct. The term can be seen to imply that the event was unavoidable, when a chain of events that led to the incident often includes many actions that were in fact avoidable. As such, "accident" often violates WP:NPOV and is thus generally avoided by scientists. The term "incident" is neutral and should replace "accident". See also the related category discussion, where "road accidents" were renamed to "road incidents". I note that the Indian list already uses "incidents". As part of this mass move request, I have adjusted some of the titles to achieve a mostly common naming format (railway -> rail; train -> rail) using "List of rail incidents in Foo", but have left the "American railroad" terminology and the Australian naming convention unchanged.

The Texas and Pacific Work Extra 523 and Missouri Pacific Extra 1902 East head on collision in Taft, Louisiana February 21, 1973. Three crew members on Extra 1902 East were killed, and two other crew members were injured. [1] [2] [3] [4] Given the three fatalities and damage from this accident, I believe it should be added.
