@cmac9029 Месяц назад

Thankfully the design of the locos involved seems to have held up and likely played a part in how serious (not serious) the injuries were. For those wondering why crash tests are a thing, that right there is your answer!

@moodydon1 Месяц назад

The standard for cabs changed in 2009. The 1st locos with cabs that met the new standards, were built for CAT, before they bought EMD from the private equity firm.

Good thing the fire station was close enough to put the fire out. I don't know how many non-residents and non-railfans know it was that close, and the reason things didn't get worse there.

@AustinTheRailfan Месяц назад

From what I have heard about the wreck. Mostly from people and scanner. Signals were out due to maintenance making PTC offline. MOW crew said the switch was lined for the main which was incorrect. Causing the Collision. As of now the MOW crew is at fault. Very similar to the Cayce Collision

There were injuries, yall. 3 CSX crew members were hospitalized. My question is, how did this happen? From what it appears, the CSX smacked into the back of the rock train.

@davidimhoff2118 Месяц назад

You’re asking a question way too early. Everyone wants to know what happened but until it gets investigated we just have to wait. Yes 3 men went to the hospital. Hospitalized makes it sound like they are admitted and we really don’t know their condition until someone reports on it.

@thetreedemoknight4827 Месяц назад

Most of what I'm hearing is that the MOW crew wrongfully confirmed that a switch set to the mainline, and the intermodal train was instructed by dispatcher to pass a red signal over the aforementioned switch, sending it into the rear of a rock train. Might be speculation though, take all information with a grain of salt until official information is available.

@frankely6378 Месяц назад

This was a head on. The intermodal was lead by 2 locos, the rock train by 3. The collision pushed the rock train locos back into the first few cars of that train. It looks like the 3rd loco from the rock train actually got the worst end of the deal. The first few cars of that train certainly did. There are more detailed reports that say the signals were in suspension for some maintenance, and the switch under manual control. The switch didn't get lined correctly, and there you go.
