QUOTE: Originally posted by CSXrules4eva WOW!! This real interesting.?/!! I just heard about it from a railfan friend of mine, I had to get on the forums right away. I was told that the engineer of the BNSF unit ran through a red signal and collided with a rail grinder at the dimond. That must of been a wake up call for the offensive train's crew. I hope no one was hurt. :(

QUOTE: Originally posted by spbed What time did it occur if you know? I guess it happen at nite because there is no report of it before this AM. [:o)]it happened between 7:30 and 8:00 P.M. QUOTE: Originally posted by Andy1087 Supposedly a railgrinder on the UP has collided with a stack train on the BNSF with a POSSIBLE ensuing wreck. By looking at the webcam there appears to be a lot of bright lights and containers ripped open with thier contents spilled all over. Andy

QUOTE: Originally posted by David3 No, if you look at the story link that was posted above, the BNSF stack was clearly over the diamond when the UP grinder decided to move ahead and hit it. Dave
