The railroad transportation system facilitates the movement of people and goods and plays an important role for social and economic welfare, but behind that there are many train accidents which cause material and non-material losses. Risk management is expected to reduce the accidents that arise by identifying risks and several methods for handling them. Based on the nature of the risks that arise in train construction can be seen from two sides, namely the technical and nontechnical sides. Therefore this journal aims to identify risks based on technical and nontechnical characteristics of the risk. On the technical side, the most frequent risks arise in the form of derailment and collision, while nontechnical risks are in the form of human error and wind obstructions when the train is traveling (crosswind). Risk management of transportation infrastructure is a complex task that usually involves various stakeholders from the individual, government and private sectors so that multi-sector collaboration is seen as an important element of risk management.
