The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is testing a new model for enabling railroads with very small numbers of employees to join the Confidential Close Call Reporting System (C3RS). This model adopts an additional third party to support event analysis when small railroads lack the resources to conduct their own and/or where it would be difficult to establish confidentiality for their employees. In this model, the Short Line Safety Institute (SLSI) serves as the third party to analyze events. SLSI conducts the event analysis and shares their results in a newsletter to all the participating railroads. This Research Results describes some of the challenges faced by SLSI in conducting their event analysis and sharing the results with the participating railroads.
