Clarendon Train Collision

On May 28, 2002, In Clarendon, Texas, A BNSF Coal Train Collided Head-On With A BNSF Intermortal Container Train Due To It’s Engineer Placing Two Calls On His Cell Phone, One That Lasted 23 Minutes, And Another One That Lasted 10 Minutes, A BIG NO NO! Another Fact Was The Two Trains Were Running In A Area With No Railroad Signals Also Known As Non Signal Territory And That Relies On Track Warns Which Will Tell Which Train Needs To Stop And Which Train Has The Right To Proceed To Make Sure That Trains Run Safely. According To The Coal Train’s Track Warn, It Had To Wait At The Siding At Ashtola And Allow The Intermortal Train Pass By Before The Coal Train Can Enter The Single Track. At The Ashtola Siding, The Coal Train Was Tasked To Wait On The Main Track While The Intermortal Train Passes By On The Side Track Before The Coal Train Can Proceed, But Because The Coal Train’s Engineer Was On His Cell Phone, This Wouldn’t Be The Case. The Coal Train Ran The Switch Where It Was Supposed To Stop For The Intermortal Train And After That, The Coal Train’s Engineer Hung Up His Cell Phone Not Knowing Where He Was. He Didn’t Know If Was Supposed To Stop A While Ago Or If He Was Supposed To Continue Going Because He Was Distracted By His Cell Phone Calls. Near Clarendon, The Two Trains Collided, But Both Crew Members From Both Trains Bailed Out Before The Crash. As It Was, The Rest of The Crew Members From Both Trains Suffered Minor Injuries After Jumping, But Unfortunately, The Only Fatality Was The Engineer of The Intermortal Train. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Concluded That The Cause of The Wreck Was The Engineer of The Coal Train, Who Was Using His Cellphone When He Shouldn’t Have Been And Wasn’t Paying Attention To His Track Warns. Note: This Model Remake Was Based Off of The Real Train Collision In Clarendon, Texas. Although I Didn’t Have The Locomotives That Were Involved In The Wreck, The Locomotives I Used For The Film Were Great Substitutes.
