Amtrak 7 hit a farm sprayer MP165 between Bainville-Culbertson MT. Sorry for the poor pictures.

Hope no one was hurt.

     Looks like that farm spray took quite a toll on that unit. Farm sprayer is probably junk too but it showed him who boss was.

Tractor driver fatality. Injuries to train passengers. Multiple passenger cars derailed.

Under Amtrak's current circumstances, the AMTK 9 is toast.

Thanks for the post.. That's sad to see.
Not to nit-pick but just for my own FYI, would this be the BNSF "Hi Line" instead of
"High Line" ?
And BNSF GATEWAY Sub the "Highline".
Not to correct the OP but more for my info.

Thank you..

Here we go again with the train "losing contact with the tracks" line. They really need to fix the Magna Traction.

The Billings Gazette news article refers to it as the Hi Line. That is probably the way it has been for over 50 years. Residents call the area the Hi Line even without the railroad.
