(Preview)
BNSF stack train derails 17 cars in the middle of nowhere KS. Of course a stack car could be a 3 or a 5 pack by the looks of this mess. Different looking aftermath as it looks the cars behind the power decided to derail. Broken rail maybe. BNSF Transcon closed at Hazelton KS due too derailment 2/12/2024

BNSF derailment in Nebraska
(Preview)
Eastbound "double" loaded coal train derails 57 cars and 3 locomotives on the Alliance to Ravenna main. I'm sure BNSF has run many double loaded coal trains out of Alliance without issue. But when Sun square Uranus aspect is exact different results can happen. Interesting the derailed cars right ne...

Not sure but this the famous "Joint Line" used by BNSF and UP south from Denver. I'm not sure who is responsible MOW. Southbound BNSF coal train going over I-25 and the bridge collapses over the freeway derailing a lot of coal. Huge mess. Traffic on I-25 backed up many miles. train wreck shuts down I25...

Texas Runaway Train Collision
(Preview)
I guess Texas is not flat as a string of boxcars escape the yard onto the mainline and gain speed. Dispatcher tells crew on a train heading for the speeding boxcars to "abandon train". They did. BNSF has enough locomotives to replace the one that got the brunt of the damage I'm sure. This accident seems t...

BNSF high wind derailment. Fairmont, OK
(Preview)
BNSF Stack train parked in a siding account tornado warnings and got hit. Blew over a whole bunch of double stacks. Current logic is that if a train is going to be hit by a tornado or straight winds better its parked because a moving train is these conditions likely to cause a derailment that tears up trac...

BNSF Northern Arizona Derailment Clean Up

At Williams AZ and its a mess. 23 cars all loaded auto racks and vehicles spilling out the ends. Going to be costly as the BNSF Transcon is shut for a couple days. They are cleaning up the derailment at a brisk pace made easier by a place to set aside the derailed cars. Rebuild a mile or more of track. In the TO...

BNSF derailment near DeSoto WI
(Preview)
Talk about a bad place to cleanup a derailment...an island. Before they can begin on the derailment they got to haul 500 dumptrucks of fill gravel/rock in the swamp between the road and the tracks. Mississippi River at flood stage but not over the tracks. Perhaps a soft spot under the tracks. Not menti...

BNSF Movement Planner, 100% Compliance
(Preview)
I listen to the BNSF Everett radio daily and in 2023 you hear mention of "The Planner" maybe 10 times a day. "The Planner" is the "Wizard of OZ" to keep trains moving. The Dispatchers have to hate The Planner as they've become 2nd fiddle. Many times The Planner doesnt plan for things to go wrong. Like a tra...

BNSF MT Derailment

I thought Bridger was on the MRL but its a BNSF train that derailed 15 cars and 31K gallons of gasoline spilt. Last day of MIR. One person thought where the derailment was it might have been weakened by recent floods. Some repairs needed missed during MIR. BNSF MT Derailment
