There are complex laws that govern railroad operations in the United States. These laws set forth specific standards of conduct which the railroads must follow.

Among other factors, the operational negligence of the train crew must be evaluated for safe operation and control of the locomotive, the railroad crew must have been keeping proper lookout, and the speed of the train must not be excessive.
