Northbound Intermodal
Title:  Northbound Intermodal
Description:  Northbound intermodal train Z-ALTWSP8-28B rolls past Signal 4022 between Lindsey St. and Brooks St. in Norman. This photo was taken 4 years after BNSF 4566 was involved in a head-on collision with a loaded coal train in Clarendon, TX. BNSF 4566 and BNSF 8902 were the only two locomotives that could be saved. BNSF SD70MAC 8876 and BNSF C44-9W 4385 were completely destroyed. The engineer on BNSF 4385 was fatally wounded as a result of the collision. The coal train crew was responsible for the accident because they failed to stop at the designated spot on their track warrant and traveled, I believe, an additional 10 miles to the impact site.
