An Eastbound UP loaded coal train was stopped at a red signal just East of Pacific. When another coal train slammed into it from behind. Before word could get out, a westbound emty coal train plowed into the wreckage on the other track. 6 engines and 76 cars derailed and the double tracked, 38 trains a day, including Amtrak, mainline was blocked under a heaping pile of coal and diesel feul. The engines were 2 SD 90 Macs, both totaled, 1 AC 6000, and 3 AC 4400s - one totaled. The lead unit on the first colliding coal train was an SD 90 Mac. It looks like it was put in a shreader. It's in about 5 dozen pieces with half the body sitting on the feul tank, and the traction motors and everything else in lying in a ditch in front of it. If possible try to get to see it. Once in a lifetime experience.
