The Train was Canadian Pacific C73152-29 going West with 3 Canadian Pacific Locomotives, numbers unknown with 157 Coal Cars going 25 MPH, was passing West of Lytton, B.C., Canada.

The first picture is from the lead locomotive and the second picture is from the third locomotive showing the Coal Cars and the Coal dust going to the left of the train going North towards the trees.

18 Minutes Later, at 6:48 PM, a wildfire was reported near the town and tracks, everyone was able to evaluate before the fire reached the town. The wildfire completely destroyed the town and most of the trees around the tracks.

It was thought the dust from the Coal Train is what caused the wildfire, however the actual cause was the dry grass, trees and the temperature from that day.

I don't know the full story about this incident, if anyone knows anything about this, please let me know.

DOT-111 Tank Cars fell off a bridge cause by bad track and one of them ended up in the Nemadji River leaking Benzene and Toluene.

I don't know the numbers of the locomotives or the full story of this derailment. If anyone knows the full story of this crash, please let me know.

What does everyone think of this drawing and do you think the kids from the first movie will show up in the third movie?

On June 28th, 2016, Two BNSF Intermodal Trains going opposite directions were passing through Texas.

The Westbound Train had BNSF 5416, BNSF 7553, BNSF 7907, BNSF 8191, BNSF 5212 and around 54 Intermodal Cars. The Train left Wellington, KS at 2 AM.

The Eastbound Train had BNSF 5162, BNSF 7838, BNSF 3967, another 54 Intermodal Cars, DPUs BNSF 8234 and BNSF 3970. The Train left Amarillo, TX at 7:25 AM.

At 8:21 AM The Trains were passing through Panhandle, TX next to a siding where two uncoupled Eastbound BNSF engines, 7911 and 5451 where seating when BNSF 5416 West and BNSF 5162 East collided head-on with BNSF 5162 going 47 MPH and BNSF 5416 going 37 MPH causing a big fire.

The two crew members on BNSF 5162 and The Conductor of BNSF 5416 died in the crash.

The Engineer of BNSF 5416 jumped off the engine before the collision and only had minor injuries.

The lead Locomotives BNSF 5416 and BNSF 5162 were completely destroyed, BNSF 7838 and BNSF 3967 were buried when 21 Intermodal Cars piled on top of them, BNSF 7553s cab was completely destroyed, BNSF 7907 and BNSF 8191 only had little damage with BNSF 7907s noise right in front of BNSF 3967, BNSF 5212 was ripped apart when 5 Intermodal crashed into it from the stop, BNSF 7911 and BNSF 5451 were undamaged.

This crash was The Worst Train Wreck in BNSF's History and The Worst in Texas Since The 2002 Clarendon Train Collision.

The pictures are from The Forward Facing Video Cameras on BNSF 7907, first picture, BNSF 8191, second picture and BNSF 7911, third picture.

The reason why the Trains collided was because BNSF 5162 passed a red stop signal where they were supposed to wait for BNSF 5416 to pass because The Engineer had Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Poor Sleep Quality and The Conductor had Sedating Medication taken before his shift.

As for what happened to the Locomotives, BNSF 5162, BNSF 7838, BNSF 3967, BNSF 5416, BNSF 7553 and BNSF 5212 were deemed a total loss and were scrapped, along with the derailed Intermodal Cars.

BNSF 7907 and BNSF 8191 were used as spare parts until 2020 when they were repaired and returned to service and are still around today, along with BNSF 8234, BNSF 3970, BNSF 7911 and BNSF 5451 which were undamaged.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the 3 crew members who died, the engineer who survived and their families.

The Train had two CN Locomotives pulling Empty Lumber Cars going North.

The Balloon was coming from the East going West.

3 People inside the basket of the Balloon, the pilot and 2 passengers had minor injuries when the deflating Balloon got caught between the 20th and 24th Cars of the train and dragged the Balloon and basket a few hundred feet down the tracks.

The Engineer saw the Balloon coming down and slowed down, only to go into emergency braking when he saw the Balloon hit the train behind the engines. Thr train crew was uninjured.

The pilot of the Balloon was trying to make an emergency landing and land on grass in a park right next to the train tracks, due to the strong winds on that day.

The Engines and Lumber Cars were undamaged and the Balloon was probably repaired.

The picture is representing the view from The Forward Facing Video Camera on the second locomotive. The numbers of both locomotives are unknown. You can see the Balloon on the top left of the train. Also, on the right of the picture behind the buildings, someone in a car going the same way as the train, took video of the Balloon and the Train.

If there's anything I forgot about this incident or know the numbers of the CN Locomotives, please let me know.

The Train had two locomotives, BNSF 7631 and BNSF 4076, pulling a long Intermodal Train going West on the North Track.

The Truck was caring furniture going North over the LaGrange Rd Crossing in La Grange, IL.

The Train was going slowly and stopped 2 Cars from the crossing, the tractor separated from the trailer and the trailer was pushed into the La Grange Metra and Amtrak Station, took out a crossing gate, hit a tree, destroyed part of a fence, hit a light pole and partly collapsed the waiting station on the right.

A few hours after the collision, everything was cleared from the site and the trains were able to continue on their ways.

Nether the truck driver or BNSF crew members were injured.

As of now, we still don't know why the truck drove onto the crossing pass the crossing gates, since the dashcam on the truck cut out when the train hit the truck.

The trailer was destroyed, the station was eventually repaired, while BNSF 7631 was also repaired.

If there's anything I forgot about this crossing incident, please let me know.

On June 1st, 2024, 2 Years Ago in Hollywood, FL, A Passenger Train and A Stone Train were going to pass each other.

The Passenger Train was Brightline 729 going South with engine 117 leading, 4 Coaches and engine 101 at the rear.

The Stone Train was Florida East Coast 208 going North with 6 Florida East Coast engines, 820, 301, 815, 804, 306 and 716 pulling 90 Stone Cars.

Around 6:48 PM, as both Trains approach Sheridan St Crossing, The engineer on Brightline 729 sees a car on the tracks north of the crossing, the police were already at the crossing on the east side of the tracks and the driver of the car had gotten out, standing on the west side of the crossing.

Brightline 729 goes into emergency braking and then hits the car, pushing it across the crossing to the other side before coming to a stop.

At the same time, The crew of Florida East Coast 208 saw the collision and that half of the car was on the other track, which caused Florida East Coast 208 to also go into emergency braking, seconds later the front left hand side of Florida East Coast 820 hits the car, pushing and crushing it on the front left hand side of Brightline 117 with the car wedged between both Trains.

The 6 Florida East Coast engines passed the car before coming to a stop next to Brightline 729 with the 2nd Stone Car next to the crushed car and Brightline 117.

After the collision occurred, 8 minutes later at 6:56 PM, the engineer of Brightline 729 contacted Florida East Coast Dispatcher reporting the collision saying everything was okay.

The Passengers and Crew from Brightline 729, The Crew from Florida East Coast 208 and The driver of the car were all uninjured.

Because of the accident and Florida East Coast 208 was blocking Sheridan St Crossing and Taft St Crossing, all the cars and traffic from Sheridan St were crossing the tracks at Garfield St, but they had to go around the crossing gates since the back of Florida East Coast 208 was only a few feet from the crossing.

It's unknown why the car was on the tracks next to the crossing before the trains came. If anyone knows anything about what happened or if I forgot anything about this incident, please let me know.

I think 1 hour after the collision, The 6 Florida East Coast engines with the first Stone Car from Florida East Coast 208 were uncoupled from the rest of the Train and the crossing lights and gates were turned off so the crushed car can be removed by a tow truck.

After that, The 6 Florida East Coast engines and 1st Stone Car were reconnected back with the train and everything from the wreckage was cleaned up, 2 hours after the collision, both Trains were able to continue on their ways. However Brightline 117 had its nose cover for the front coupling removed, which was later repaired.

What does everyone think of this drawing representing the view from The Forward Facing Video Camera on Florida East Coast 820?

The Train was going East with CSX 3428, CSX 6539, CSX 8523 and 116 Cars going 40 MPH.

The Train was about to cross the Magyor St Crossing when the crew noticed that the second engine had smoke coming from the wheels and threw the train into emergency braking, only for sparks to come up when the train went over a switch and the crossing and then the train came off the tracks.

The 2nd, 3rd engines and 22 Cars derailed and one of the cars caught on fire.

The lead locomotive stayed on tracks undamaged and the crew was uninjured.

The cause of the derailment was a Hot Box on the 4th wheel axle of CSX 6539, the second engine.

The derailment was captured on a nearby security camera to the right of the train.

The 2 derailed engines were repaired and returned to service and all the derailed cars were scrapped.

The Eastbound Train was a Coal Train, with BNSF 8876, 8902, 116 Coal Cars and DPU 8930.

The Westbound Train was a Intermodal Train with BNSF 4385 and 4566.

The crew members from both Trains jumped from their engines before the collision, The Coal Train crew and The Conductor from The Intermodal were injured, The Engineer from The Intermodal Train died.

The cause of the collision was the engineer of The Coal Train was on his mobile phone getting calls while driving the train, which caused him to missed a red signal at a siding 10 minutes before the crash where they were supposed to stop for The Intermodal Train.

BNSF 8876 and 4385 were totaled, while BNSF 8902 and 4566 were repaired and are still around today.

The Union Pacific Train had Union Pacific 4220, Union Pacific 3960, 8 Gondola Cars and 1 Tanker Car, the train was waiting for another train to clear the tracks further down the line.

The CSX Train was a Intermodal Train with CSX 7783, CSX 8429 and a lot of Intermodal Cars.

CSX 7783 pushed the Tanker Car and 2 Gondola Cars off the tracks and pushed the Union Pacific Train forward a few feet, CSX 7783 wasn't to damaged, while CSX 8429 was buried under 7 Intermodal Cars piling up on top of it and caused the wreck to catch on fire.

The two crew members on the CSX Train unfortunately died in the crash, The crew members on the Union Pacific Train were uninjured.

The cause of the collision was the CSX Train passed a dark signal where it was supposed to stop.

The Union Pacific engines were undamaged and returned to service, while the CSX locomotives were damaged beyond repaired and were scrapped.

RIP to the CSX crew members who died, my thoughts and prayers go out to them and they're families.

The Train was going South with BNSF Fakebonnet paint scheme 4702, BNSF 4580 and around 100 grain cars going 17 MPH.

BNSF 4702 hit a big bolder part of a Rockslide and fell over on its left hand side and slid down the embankment with its cab going into the Bighorn River on the left, the second engine BNSF 4580 also fell over on its left hand side with its rear body torn off, 3 grain cars also derailed with the first one also going into the river.

The two crew members were uninjured and were able to get out of their locomotive, just a little shaken up and wet.

A officer in a police car down the tracks on the left on WY-789 saw the crash occurred and went over to help and report the crash with their dashcam capturing the derailment.

The Rockslide was caused by the weather in the days leading up to the crash, which caused the big bolder to fall on the tracks right before the train came.

Both locomotives were repaired and returned to service. However, BNSF 4702 was repainted into the H3 paint scheme and BNSF 4580 was also later repainted into the H3 paint scheme also well.

This drawing is representing what the view from BNSF 4702 probably looked like, but I'm not sure if the video from the engine was recovered.

If anyone knows anything I forgot about this derailment or if someone knows if the video from the train exists, please let me know.

The Train was NS 14M going North, 28 MPH, NS 4342 in the lead, NS 3632, NS 4689 were 126 and 127 cars from the front of the train, 213 Mixed Freight Cars, 144 loaded cars and 64 empty cars.

9 cars derailed, 164 - 172 on a bridge over a river. No one was injured.

The drawing is representing the view from The Forward Facing Video Camera on the Lead Locomotive, NS 4342 going over a defect detector in Beaver Falls, PA, 15 Miles from the crash site at 10:13 PM, the defect detector is the small box on the right. The number of the engine, date and time on the picture are wrong, but try to ignore that

The cause of the derailment was because The 164 Car, Hopper Car CRDX 3017 had a Hot Box on the front axles and the defect detector in the picture, didn't pick up the Hot Box or alert the crew due to the detector being miswired cause of maintenance error.

This crash happened not far from The East Palestine Derailment 3 months earlier.

If there's anything I forgot anything about this derailment, please let me know.

The Train was a CSX Freight Train going North with CSX 775 and CSX 3130.

The School Bus was going West at 101 E Central Ave Crossing in Bushnell, FL.

The Bus had the driver and 29 Middle School Students. Thankfully, No one was injured.

The Bus only had small damage to its left hand rear side and CSX 775 only had its left hand front handrails damaged when it clipped the Bus. The Train came to a stop after around 30 to 40 Cars passed the crossing.

The Bus was towed away after the collision, I'm not sure if it is or was repaired, CSX 775 was repaired and returned to service.

As for why the Bus was on the tracks, as of May 2026, it's still under investigation. What we do know is that, the Bus crossed the tracks after the crossing activated, A car was in front of the Bus after the crossing and security camera video on the Bus captured the driver saying "I ain't stopping for no train".

The driver was arrested and was charged with 29 counts of child endangerment.

The picture is representing The Forward Facing Video Camera Footage from CSX 775. There's video from a witness on the left behind the Bus and one of the Students on the Bus took video of the train passing by. Does anyone think CSX will show the video from the train of this incident? And if I forgot anything about this incident, please let me know.

15 Days Late, On April 25th, 1946, just after 1 PM, 80 Years Ago, Train 11 The Advanced Flyer with CB&Q E7s 9920A & 9920B and 13 Cars stopped in Naperville, IL to check out a problem with the train, until it was rear-ended by Train 39 The Exposition Flyer with CB&Q E5A 9910A Silver Speed & E5B 9910B Silver Power and 9 Cars going 45 MPH.

CB&Q 9910A Silver Speed crashed into the rear Car on The Advanced Flyer, which was pushed into the last 4 Cars derailing them, The first 5 Cars on The Exposition Flyer also derailed but weren't really damaged.

45 people died in the crash along with The Fireman of The Exposition Flyer who jumped off the engine before the collision, 125 people were injured as well as The Engineer of The Exposition Flyer, The Engineer, Brakemen and The Flagman of The Advanced Flyer were uninjured.

The cause of the rear-end collision was because The Engineer of The Exposition Flyer didn't reacted to a signal where they were supposed to stop quickly enough and also because of The Advanced Flyer was stopped in not a good spot, just after a curve.

As for what happened to the Trains, The 5 derailed Cars from The Advanced Flyer were scrapped, while The CB&Q E5 Locomotives and derailed Exposition Flyer Cars were repaired and returned to service.

CB&Q 9910A & 9920B were sold to The Colorado and Southern Railroad in 1955 renumbered as 9951A & B until they were retired in Oct 1967, scrapped and were traded in for SD40s. As for CB&Q 9920A, it was involved in another crash On September 27th, 1964 and was destroyed, 9920B was retired in March 1968, scrapped and were traded in for a GEU30B Engine.

Two Cars from both Trains are still around, CB&Q Coach 4073 from The Advanced Flyer, which is now at The Atchison Railroad Museum and The rear Car from The Exposition Flyer called The Mt Darwin which is at The Galston Railroad Museum.

Today only 1 member of The E5 and E7 Engines are still around, There's 9911A The Silver Pilot at the Illinois Railroad Museum in Union, IL and Pennsylvania Railroad 5901A at The Strasburg Railroad in Strasburg, PA.

The Advanced and Exposition Flyers stopped operations after 1949, Today the route it used is now part of Amtraks California Zephyr.

Another thing I want to point out is that this crash is not well known as other accidents, but it's a reason why in the USA, Passenger Trains have speeds of 79 MPH and Freight Trains between 50 to 70 MPH.

RIP to the people who died in this accident. If I forgot anything about this incident or about the locomotives please let me know.

This collision can also be known as The Tragedy at Loomis Street Crossing.
