CTC put 2 trains going opposite ways on the same track. If I remember right the dispatcher got fired.I would not like to have been that guy if he survived. He would have some explaining to do.
I wonder if they make you pay for the damage since it is an at fault accident?
I think here's what happened:
YouTube - BNSF head on crash in Kismet california
If you look closely you will see that the engineer jumped from the loco that went through the red, just before they collided.
Isn't 4479, the loco used in the original Microsoft Train Simulator??
The most shocking thing about this accident (to me) is that both of these engines were rebuilt. (Found these on locophotos) I can't believe that they were able to salvage 4479.
I was wondering the same thing
I know, the locos looked totally wrecked!
And am I not looking right, or is the first loco in the video of the wrecks on freight car trucks?
