Roswell Train Collision 5 Years Later

On April 28, 2015 a Southwestern Railroad freight train collided with a park local at Dexter, NM, 10 miles South of Roswell. The engineer of the train sadly died and the conductor suffered many serious injuries after both men jumped from the train. The cause was the conductor of local not setting the switch for the siding to the main because we was feeling fatigued.

I was part of a Re-railing crew in the UK and some of the derailments that could have been prevented because of simple mistakes are unbelievable. Thankfully, they are mostly in sidings or depot`s so the speed is minimal.

It seems a lot safer to risk it by jumping than to stay inside the cab, where most of the force of the initial impact will be concentrated. The most dangerous thing about jumping though is probably the chance of getting crushed by derailed cars. I think that most people would prefer to break a few bones over dying gruesomely in a twisted steel mess.

The cheapest most effective way, could be to fit each switch stand with a GPS/Solar battery powered position indicator that could be pinged by dispatch or the crew of trains running on dark territory, requiring only minimal power for a return signature to indicate "normal or diverge".

We had a similar accident at Waipahi in New Zealand's south. Not identical, but similar. One of the trains was late so they were planned to pass at Waipahi instead of the usual crossing point of the next loop down. The first train parked on the main to wait for the second to pass. Regulations dictated that the driver should have got out and set the points for the loop ready for the second train to go straight in while he was waiting but it was common practice not to bother since the oncoming train would have to stop anyway to get a new track warrant. Meanwhile the second train did a crew change farther up the line and the new driver apparently did not read the track warrant properly, so he expected to blaze right through Waipahi and meet the first train at the next loop where it would normally be. He came charging round the corner, saw the other train parked in his path and had no chance of avoiding it. Unfortunately the waiting driver was killed when the oncoming train mounted the waiting one and crushed the cab.

Seeing the switch improperly lined from 2,000' away is irrelevant when a Track Warrant relieves you of 6.27. Reporting a switch lined and locked for main track movement in TWC means just that - It's lined and locked for main track movement. Insinuating that the BNSF crew was partially at fault in this particular case is absurd.

It being dark territory prolly helps because nobody checks it twice if the crew is feeling lazy or skips something... misalignment of a switch is quite easy when you have to remember to do it. Misreading a track warrant is also rather easy compared to misunderstanding a signal, I imagine. I‘d petition for getting rid of track warrants. If you have dark territory, limit it to one train max. That way you don’t need to upgrade every siding you only ever use to shunt some cars to a customer but you can’t get these kinds of crashes anymore, provided the dispatcher is checked competently...

It really isn't hard to see why a crew would jump. Look at some images of engines after collisions, and look at how crushed the cab is. Doesn't really look survivable. But, I've also heard a story of an incident where the conductor jumped, but the engineer decided to stay on. The conductor's side of the cab was completely smashed. He would have died had he stayed on. The engineer's side of the cab was untouched. They both were completely fine. There is a judgement call element to it, but it also comes down to luck.
