Tuesday's accident is at least the second in recent years involving BNSF trains striking one another. Investigators said Wednesday they believed three missing crew members aboard two freight trains that collided head-on in the Texas Panhandle did not survive. It's not unusual to have an accident in the Panhandle involving a truck that's struck by a freight train, Buesing said, but the magnitude of Tuesday's accident was startling. Freight cars and containers were derailed and strewn for about 400 yards from the collision site just outside the town of Panhandle. The eastbound train had earlier stopped in Amarillo to refuel for its trip to Chicago, Buesing said.
