Yeah, not me, it was Union Pacific. Know the territory really well where it happened. I'm just waiting to hear what caused to 'em to go on the ground. From what I've heard so far, the southbounder went on the ground and fouled the other track and the northbounder hit the cars. Supposedly it's going to have both mains between Tacoma and Vancouver down for about 24 hrs. There were no injuries or fatalities. Just a wild ride for the crew, and the eventual investigation by the RR. Thanks for your concern guys, I appreciate it.

Well, just talked to a friend of mine who swung by there on his way home. He said it looked the northbound train was proceeding throughthe crossover there at Nisqually when the southbound train hit him. Don't know if there was some sort of signal failure or if the crew was "asleep at the wheel."

Warren Buffet just announced today that he bought into Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific. i guess he might be a little mad about htis Posted by HILANDER on :
He just bought a buttload of BNSF not too long ago either. Must be a closet railfan or something. By the way, where did you hear this?
