Federal rail officials agreed yesterday that last month's CSX freight train derailment occurred after quick-freezing water settled across the tracks and forced the rails out of alignment.
"It's an issue that happens from time to time," Steven Kulm, a spokesman for the Federal Railroad Administration in Washington, said of freezing near a tunnel. "It's like on a bridge on the highway, where water freezes more quickly. I don't want to make it seem like the railroad was negligent."
