Seems like this would be pretty easy to avoid these days.

quote:

AMARILLO - Several box cars have derailed and are engulfed in flames following a freight train collision in the Texas Panhandle.

Texas Department of Public Safety Lt. Bryan Witt says the accident occurred Tuesday morning near the town of Panhandle, about 25 miles northeast of Amarillo.

Witt says he's waiting for more details on the accident from troopers arriving on scene. Images provided by KFDA-TV in Amarillo show thick, black smoke billowing from a jumble of some two-dozen box cars strewn along the tracks.

I say this any time someone gets hit by a train. No excuse unless it jumps the tracks.

Looking at the map of that area it appears there are several sidings and switches. Probably had something to do with a switch being in the wrong position.

Walter White forgot to flip the switch back after he stole the methylamine?

That's also what the insurer's legal counsel's law office looks like right about now, too.

One train leaves Dallas traveling West at 85 mph, as another leaves Taos, NM traveling East at 90 mph. Which one arrives... shite, we should have used separate tracks.
