News out of Imperial County about an eastbound UP rock train (60 cars) running into a UP intermodal (111 cars) near Bombay Beach, CA on Saturday. Imperial Valley Press story here with sad news that engineer and conductor of the rock train did not survive the collision.

My heart goes out to the co-workers, families and friends of the UP crew.
