Excerpt from CBS Minnesota

The company identified the employee Tuesday as 29-year-old Tyrell Anderson.

BNSF Railway officials said Anderson was a trackman on a traveling construction gang from Nebraska. He had more than eight years of service with BNSF and is survived by his parents and a son.

Apparently was unloading track at Minneapolis Junction just across the Mississippi River from Downtown and a passing train struck the load. The load swung over and killed the employee. Prayers go out to the family. Shows just how dangerous this business is. Here is the link KARE 11 report BNSF Employee Killed
