ranchhopper Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) http://truck.speedsociety.com/railway-train-derailment-and-train-collision-is-scary/?source=td Scary stuff here we never had one go into a uncommanded emergency we hit a pick up truck back in the 70s and were put into emergency. Its pretty eerie to know you have a problem behind you and not know what it is I'm really surprised the grain train engineer didn't give the crude train engineer the heads up sooner though.

dogg rescue Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 That happened 2 miles from my house! It was on the edge of Casselton, ND about 1/4 mile from where my kids were at daycare, lucky nobody was hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_martell Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 ....the train that derailed could have called out that something had happend and approaching traffic should slow...

I thought that too, he was on the main so he know the crude train was approaching and should have given him a heads up when his train went into emergency.
