| 2023-19677 | Safety Advisory 2023-04; High-Impact Wheels Causing Damage to Rails and Track Structures | Notice | This Safety Advisory recommends railroads utilize Wheel Impact Load Detectors (WILD) to properly identify and replace high-impact railcar wheels that could cause significant damage to rails and supporting track structures. FRA's preliminary investigation of a recent train derailment in Gothenburg, Nebraska, indicates that high- impact wheels damaged the rail the train was operating over and caused the derailment.
