Best of all:

From government documents:

"During the early phase of railroad safety history, the casualty problem dominated Federal and public concern. According to the data contained in the in the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) Accident Bulletins from 1902 to 1911, the casualty problem for both passengers and employees was quite severe. During the 9-year period at the turn of the century, a total of 33,761 employees and 4,146 passengers were killed, and 403,259 employees, and 113,410 passengers were injured. Table 8 reflects the casualty problem for 1902-11."

I don’t know how to format tables for HTML, so I refer you to the table, which is on page 51.
