How did he "blow it out of proportion" he stated waiting on details, give the guy a break. Date: 10/23/16 17:50 Re: Breaking; BNSF Grainer runs into NYC unit. Author: BNSF-6432 EL-SD45-3632 Wrote:

Dont believe this post was blown out of proportion by any means. PQM Date: 10/23/16 17:57 Re: Breaking; BNSF Grainer runs into NYC unit. Author: santafe49 One might assume that if one train ran into the rear of another train, someone is getting a timeout.
Date: 10/23/16 18:59 Re: Breaking; BNSF Grainer runs into NYC unit. Author: Lackawanna484 "ran into" suggests some form of contact. "plowed into" might suggest a more forceful entry / penetration
Hope everybody is OK Date: 10/23/16 19:00 Re: Breaking; BNSF Grainer runs into NYC unit. Author: callum_out And when you find out that a "level" is indeed levelled at you!
Out Date: 10/23/16 19:50 Re: Breaking; BNSF Grainer runs into NYC unit. Author: Dewman45 Nothing on the local news channels in OR or WA. about it. But if true hop the crew is ok. The heritage unit can be replaced but people can't.

Ed Date: 10/23/16 20:18 Re: Breaking; BNSF Grainer runs into NYC unit. Author: funnelfan This was indeed a low speed impact with no damage to track or derailed equipment. Most likely a restricted speed issue.
