Kismet Train Collision 16 Years Later 

Just because the engineer still has a job doesn't mean the company has placed operating restricting on what job is able work

Wow, even after wrecking two trains, he still is in the railroad business. I would have fired him as soon as the drug test completed

The Survie to Kismet train collision this the exit to train!

P

So this is what a buddy of mine had told me… “They (BNSF) fired all 3 on the offending train. The conductor had prior violations and the brakeman failed the post accident drug test. They both stayed fired. The company botched the dismissal process for the hog and were ordered by court to reinstate him as a result. Both guys on the other train were badly injured and couldn't return. That hog is restricted to yard service for the rest of his career. He can still go out on the main within the scope of the yard job's duties. They wouldn't let him submit a statement about what happened. Then he showed up at the arbitration saying he was fired because he was black. And so his job was awarded back.” Not to mention the guy ran away from the wreck, and wasn’t found for hours later..

Where did you met him at I'm just asking

Where did you meet him I'm just asking

You saw it?

Yeah 5473 is the only locomotive that was a total loss

PTC is now operational on that line and most class 1 lines in the United States. FYI the last ptc extension expired on 12/31/2018. No more extensions have been giving to my knowledge.

Does ptc stop a train before it comes to a red? Or only after it passes thru it? It seems like if its the latter, it would make no difference in this situation

Thank you! I'm glad you like it!

@griffin rails are you going to making more documentaries when you have the time, because I enjoyed your documentaries?

@@CameraManRailFan Are you going to be making another Engines of BNSF episode, and if you do, can you do the Dash 9's?

Thank you so much!

@@CameraManRailFan np

@CameraManRailFan please do the Mosier Oregon oil spill, not to many people remember it

Wow...

Thank you! Depending on my availability, maybe I'll do that one

@@CameraManRailFan If your wondering. I might have some info. Okay. So I know that the Amtrak was the California Zephyr. The truck was a gravel. It rammed between the 4th or 5th car. Causing a fire.

Do you work for union Pacific as the engineer or conducter

good point im now going to look at it now

3 crew members per train, somehow all 6 did survived.

Well, you're wrong. I am a locomotive engineer for BNSF and they all survived.

@@kensingtonchapp4819 How could the person who jumped from the engine on the passenger side survive a train engine falling on top of him? There's no way he had enough time to get out of the way of that thing tipping over onto him-especially since he was probably hurt after jumping from the engine and landing the way he did.

@@IwshIcldstrtover thats a damn good question

The cement train was at full weight, so even the 4350 hp Dash 9 would not have been sufficient enough. 2 Dash 9s would have been sufficient. The mixed freight could have used only 1 unit, though. Regardless, you are absolutely right. The trains were way overpowered. More than likely the "extras" were being "dropped" at some yards or locations to be used on other trains.

lmao facts

Well...he was the oldest of them all.

I know, that's what I'm thinking

Guessing the one engineer didn't have any

Especially the lead units of both trains which I would have guessed were way beyond repair looking at the post crash pictures. The only one that was scrapped was NREX SD50 5473.

I think their lease expired.

Thank you!

No sir. Read the NTSB report. All five employees of this accident, both those that jumped and those that did not, survived.
