Sorry. I realized I failed to provide a link after I posted the original post.  The article wasn't very detailed though.

A BNSF employee was killed this morning (5/24/13) at BNSF's San Bernardino yard.  The article said he was working on a train when some rail cars moved.  He was pronounced dead at the scene.
