reported as a regular case.)
Reportable casualties that resulted from suicides and attempted suicides, as
determined by a coroner, public police officer, or other public authority, must be
included in the casualty counts in boxes 46, 49, and 52, as applicable.

includes only those persons classified as Worker on Duty–Railroad Employee
(Class A).

53a. Special Study Block - Recording of Accident/Incident
Indicate whether the highway-rail grade crossing accident/incident was recorded
by a locomotive video recorder, by checking off either the "Yes", or "No" check
box (for "Video Taken?"). If "Video Taken? is "Yes", indicate if the recording
was used by the railroad (i.e., information gathered in viewing the recording was
used) to complete the FRA Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Accident/Incident
Report, by checking either the “Yes or "No” check box (for “Video used?"). For
additional information on requirements related to locomotive event recorders, see
49 CFR 229.135 "Event Recorders."
53b. Special Study Block
The “Special Study Blocks” (SSB) in this item are for collection of essential data
as the need arises. The FRA will notify the railroads in writing, or if appropriate,
through publication in the Federal Register, of the purpose and the type of
information that is to be collected. In conjunction with the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), FRA will publish in the Federal Register any
announcement affecting highway users, thus allowing motor carriers the
opportunity to provide FRA pertinent special study information.
54. Narrative Description
An accident is frequently the culmination of a sequence of related events, and a
variety of conditions or circumstances may contribute to its occurrence. A
complete record of all of these is beneficial in accident prevention analysis.
However, it is not practical, even if it were possible, to develop forms and codes
that would capture every detail that may be associated with the causes and
resulting consequences of each accident. Therefore, the most appropriate
combination of available codes that best identifies the likely primary and any
contributing cause and other factors, is to be used when completing the railroad’s
report.
The limitations imposed by standardized reporting forms make it critical that the
