Comments on CSI data tables
ERA has reviewed the reported CSI data and all large fluctuations has been che cked by the reporting NSA. In the table below are given comments for the data where for example fluctuations

FR 2006 N01-N02 Does not include collisions/derailments on sidings.
HU 2006-2008 N01-N06 The fluctuation in number of occurrences between 2006 and 2008 is due to a combination of change in reporting procedures and true
