Did the BNSF oil train just roll on with branches piled on the buffer car? That's dramatic...

And here I thought BNSF was divesting itself of unprofitable branches!

Not the first time that's happened, had a M-DYTGAL, Dayton Texas-Galesburg that had to have the lead BNSF motor shuffled around and a UP motor added to head end due to hitting a tree on UP in Arkansas, all the headlights/ditchlights were busted out, the front handrails were bent back to where you couldn't open the nose door, but it was still under load!
