Accidents

Kansas City, Mo. (BNSF) April 30, 2003
At BNSF's Murra Yard, a remote control locomotive was in pulling mode (as opposed to shoving mode) and apparently ran over a red flag, the protective derail, and almost struck several BMWE workers repairing the track. Reports indicate that if one BMWE employee hadn't physically removed a co-worker, the accident would have rendered casualties.
