Five BNSF crewmen were injured today when two BNSF freight trains collided head-on near Madera, California. Some of the crewmen jumped before the collision as others rode the engines to impact. One crewman remains in serious condition while the others were treated for minor injuries and released. Madera is about 150 miles southeast of San Francisco. Amtrak also uses the railline and had to bus passengers. The line remains closed while railroad officials investigate the accident. No hazardous materials were spilled but one engine did leak some diesel fuel. One train carried cement while the other carried pentane, a methane-based liquid fuel. Those viewing the accident stated it was a miracle no one was killed. "It's a big, mangled mess," according to Erica Stuart, a spokeswoman for the Madera County Sheriff's Office.
