Unfortunately I've just come across a major crash in Texas. Seems two BSNF trains collided and created a major fire. 3 missing and 1 jumped before collision. The linespeed is 70mph but its unknown how fast they were travelling at the time. Rail safety seems to be a problem in America, thoughts with those sadly affected.

Floodlights are being brought to the scene of a train collision in Texas as crews prepare to battle into the night a blaze that envelops the wrecked locomotives and lead rail cars.
The two BNSF Railway freight trains were on the same track Tuesday when they collided near the town of Panhandle, about 25 miles northeast of Amarillo.
Flames are blocking efforts to find three missing crew members.
Sgt. Dan Buesing of the Texas Department of Public Safety says rail cars up to 400 yards from the collision site are derailed, strewing rail cars and container stacks.
