  • "At 8:57 a.m., central daylight time, on May 28, 2002, an eastbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) coal train collided head on with a westbound BNSF intermodal train near Clarendon, Texas. Both trains had a crew of two, and all crew members jumped from their trains before the impact. The conductor and engineer of the coal train were critically injured. The conductor of the intermodal train received minor injuries; the engineer of the intermodal train was fatally injured. The collision resulted in a subsequent fire that damaged or destroyed several of the locomotives and other railroad equipment. Damages exceeded 8 million."
  • "As a result of its investigation of this accident, the Safety Board identified the following safety issues: the use of cell phones by railroad operating crews; the issuance to moving trains of track warrant authority that contains an "after-arrival" stipulation; and the lack of positive train control. As a result of its investigation of this accident, the National Transportation Safety Board makes recommendations to the Federal Railroad Administration and the General Code of Operating Rules Committee."
