[californiadisasters] head-on train wreck

There was quite a train crash late last night in Fontana.    I have two friends who work this line and am still waiting to find out names.    At any rate, both crew members are expected to be okay, although one had to have an arm amputated.    Late word from a friend of a friend of a friend states the crew members were both sleeping at the time, but that is not confirmed by a longshot.

In any case, it is very interesting to note some similarities to 2008's Metrolink accident.   Both occurred in September, both occurred on UP's "Coast Line", both were head-ons, and both involved the same locomotive model.
