as sad as it is to say...and i feel for the loss of the crewman..since i am a rail roader..and the thought of that happening crosses my mind from time to time.....
but S#$T happens... im sure the crews didnt say..lets have a cra***oday.... but it happens...it is a part of rail roading...and always will be...even with more technology... that is still not a fail safe... computers fail.... people fail.... all you can do is do your job the best you can..and as safe as you can..and hope and pray that the brothers on the other train are doing the same thing...

I guess the BNSF just found out that the UP is having their meltdown.

There is no such thing as a bad day of railfanning. So many trains, so little time.
