The 1971 Salem, Illinois derailment occurred on June 10, 1971, when Amtrak’s City of New Orleans passenger train derailed near Salem, Illinois. It is sometimes referred to as the Tonti derailment, after the unincorporated community of Tonti, Illinois, which was the site of the crash. An investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found that the derailment was caused by a false flange on a flat wheel caused by a seized axle bearing. The crash killed 11 people and injured 163. It was Amtrak's first fatal accident since assuming control of most intercity passenger trains in the United States on May 1, 1971.

  • El Accidente ferroviario de Salem (Illinois) ocurrió el 10 de junio de 1971, cuando el tren de pasajeros Ciudad de Nueva Orleans de la compañía Amtrak, cerca de Salem, Illinois. A veces se le conoce como el descarrilamiento de Tonti, en relación con la comunidad no incorporada de , la más cercana al lugar del accidente. Una investigación realizada por la Junta Nacional de Seguridad del Transporte (NTSB) encontró que el descarrilamiento fue causado por la rotura de una falsa pestaña (pliegue perimetral del metal de una llanta que se forma en ocasiones antes de la rotura total de este elemento) en una llanta de ferrocarril desmontable, generada por un plano de rueda que a su vez había sido causado por el rodamiento de un eje inutilizado. El accidente mató a 11 personas e hirió a 163. Fue el primer accidente fatal de la Amtrak desde que asumió el control de la mayoría de los trenes de pasajeros interurbanos en los Estados Unidos el 1 de mayo de 1971. (es)
