The last train collision I went to was when a Southbound UP rearended a stopped UP November,(can't remeber year, maybe 1998? South of Alton, IA . <br />The conductor jumped (and died of his injuries), The engineer laid on the floor and rode it out (and survived) and a driver of a UP crew pickup van had a derailed tanker car roll over his van like a rolling pin. Needless to say the van was 18" high when accident ended. <br /> <br />I may be wrong on this, but I believe the southbound travelling UP failed to take a siding if I remeber correctly.[xx(][V]
