Western Railroad Discussion > Locomotive shop accident in Fort Worth?Date: 04/06/13 05:18 Locomotive shop accident in Fort Worth? Author: JoCoLB Does anyone have any information regarding a new BNSF locomotive (7109)accidentally plunging through the wall of a new shop in North Fort Worth, TX? I'm trying to verify and/or validate some information that was passed along to me early today in a round-about way. Hope it isn't a hoax or it was something I have missed in recent days or weeks on TO.

once the loco was on the transfer table!! Or forgot to set the handbrake!! Mike Date: 04/06/13 08:57 Re: Locomotive shop accident in Fort Worth? Author: AmHog I imagine the trucks were cut out. This is common in shop areas. A good idea to do a set and release before you move equipment.
