Two BNSF Freight Trains Collide In Texas

Tuesday, June 28th, 2016 Excess & Surplus Lines

Several box cars have derailed and are engulfed in flames following a collision between two freight trains 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. Investigators tell CBS News two locomotive cars, both BNSF trains, ran in to each other. There’s no hazmat situation this time in the wreckage of the crash, although they still don’t know what the trains were carrying, but the fire is likely from diesel fuel.
