Head on collision on Ferromex
Author: bradleymckay

MEXLIST is reporting a head on collision between a southbound unit grain load and a northbound intermodal train about 75 miles north of the city of Chihuahua. No word on injuries. Obviously the Ferromex main line between the city of Chihuahua and Ciudad Juarez (across the border from El Paso) will be out of service for 24-48 hours, possibly longer.

They've been having a really bad time for the past month, between the bandito's derailing trains on a regular basis to steal food and cargo to the runaway grain train that smashed into another train causing one of the biggest pileups I've ever seen to now this!

One of the units involved was CSX ES44AH 3099, the "Spirit of West Springfield", which was also CSX's Safety Train unit.
