The flames had prevented crews from searching the wreckage for the three missing crew members, Buesing said. Wreckage from a train collision continued to smoulder Wednesday in the Texas Panhandle as workers prepared to remove the charred, twisted box cars from the tracks and renew their search for three missing crew members. Freight cars and containers were derailed and strewn for about 400 yards from the collision site just outside the town of Panhandle, Buesing said. “I don’t know how anyone survived,” said Billy Brown, a farmer in the area who saw a fireball after the collision. One train was en route to Los Angeles and the other to Chicago, BNSF spokesman Joe Faust said Wednesday.
