Youtube video of 2 BNSF trains striking each other at a switch. Video is from an onboard camera.

Here's something on that from Trains.com...

Look closely and you'll see one of the crew jumping clear just before impact.

uh... whoa! [B)] [XX(] [:(] 
it's interesting, when running MS Train Simulator, the cab sounds are quite authentic.
Is that BNSF #4095 the unit that took it head on? I figure it was seeings how the Conductor-side got the brunt of the impact.
I am a bit puzzled... both were BNSF trains?
Yeah, I saw the "wrong train's" crew bailed just before impact. Did he actually have a chance on escaping so late? It's one thing to bail at the last minute... it's another thing to actually be clear of the impending wreckage!
Did kinda give me the shivers, too.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.
"I love your catenary!"
Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
