Western Railroad Discussion > BNSF accident where train hit BNSF truck with an excavator

If this accident was on TO i must have missed it.  The engineer was a friend of mind and is still suffering from his injurers. His train was going 25  and hit a bnsf truck carrying an excavator in IL I think. Thanks to anyone who can help. This had to have been within the last 6 or so years. 

I'd be happy to help. But just what are you looking for...cash donations to help cover long-term medical expenses for your friend?

Sounds really similar to what happened in Marceline, Mo a few years ago. July 31 2018?

Marcaline, MO, is the one.  I am not trying to get money for the fiend, he already has it.  But because he was the engineer in the accident, I just wanted to read about it.  Thanks for the infor.

Looked it up on Youtube and it is no longer available.  Was it ever on T.O? Just want to read abou it.  

I just copied the link in the post above, pasted it into my browser, and got the video of the incident.

My link worked when I posted it. I tried searching on TO but I couldn't find anything but I seem to remember it being talked about here. I know it sure was talked about on Facebook and in town.
