The video says it was the engineer that got pinned by the pipes. I need to write my daughter. If anything ever happens to me, it's the RR's fault.

Pipes is a wrestler now? SMODs have to be tough.

It was the conductor whose arm was amputated, according to later reports.

Snippy is quite confident that they will take full credit for it.

Update: Conductor's arm amputated after UP derailment

(The following report by Sam Quinones appeared on the Los Angeles Times website on September 10, 2010.)

LOS ANGELES Investigators continued their probe Friday into what caused two trains to collide near Interstate 10 in Fontana, forcing doctors to amputate a conductor's arm to free him from the wreckage.

The 69-car Union Pacific train traveling west collided with a freight train Thursday shortly before midnight west of Cherry Avenue.

The slower-moving freight train, comprised of 100 cars, was heading east, carrying a load of I-beams, said Aaron Hunt, a spokesman for Union Pacific Railroad.

The beams went through the engine of the Union Pacific train, pinning the conductor. Railroad spokesmen had initially said an engineer's arm was amputated, but it turned out to be the conductor's. Doctors from Arrowhead Regional Medical Center were summoned to the collision to perform the amputation.

Several hundred gallons of propylene glycol, a nonhazardous chemical used in automobile anti-freeze and airport de-icing machines, spilled.

Crews were at work early Friday cleaning up the chemical. California Highway Patrol officers closed the eastbound Cherry Avenue off-ramp for several hours and reopened it at 6 a.m.
