I beleive that if the loco was in the pull mode, the severity of the accident would have been much less. I saw a few pictures in the paper and it showed the markings that the rescuers painted on the side of the cars. It showed that a good portion of the fatalities were from the lead car that hit jeep. There was alot of force moving there to knock over the UP loco. I think in 6 months we will see the results of the investigation. <br /> <br />Bob
