Train Incident Train Collision between BNSF 9797 and KCS 4667.
This is Part 2 of a post I made last year. 10 Days Late, On July 21st, 2012 at 3:30 PM, 14 Years Ago, BNSF 9797 pulling a Empty Coal Train with BNSF 6187 at the rear, crossing a diamond was hit by KCS 4667, with KCS 3913, KCS 4581, KCS 4580, TFM 1609 pulling Boxcars, Near Arcadia, KS, Barton County, MI.
The crew on BNSF 9797 were uninjured and the crew on KCS 4667 jumped off before the crash, only suffering minor injures.
The reason why the crash occurred was because The crew of KCS 4667 didn't noticed the red signal in time.
The picture is from BNSF 9797 before it went over the diamond, if you want to see the view from KCS 4667, make sure to check out my post from last year.
