Here is what happened: 5:48 AM- The crew falls asleep before entering the town of Pacific, Missouri, with a loaded coal train. 5:49 AM- The train runs the red block and enters the town without whistling at the 4 crossings. 5:50 AM- It slams into the other loaded coal train at 44 miles per hour. The engine event recorder showed no signs of braking attempts before the impact. The stopped train was waiting at a double red signal at Dozier crossover, just east of Pacific. 5:51 AM- A westbound empty coal train on the other track collides into the wreckage close to 50 MPH, after appliing the emergency brake. 5:52 AM- Twisted aluminum, steel, coal, diesel feul, and engine shreads lay in a silent heap, blocking route 66, both mainlines, and a silica mine. The neighboring BNSF Cuba Sub had coal mixed in with its ballast, but nothing to slow a train for. 6:00 AM- the local news. Emergency vehicles arrive, as does the press. The mainline was opened the next day after 3 engines were totally destroyed and 3 others damaged. with 76 mixed coal cars in twisted heaps being torched up and hauled away in simi trucks. Yeah, I got pictures.
