Remarks & Notes

On February 18, 1970, an eastbound Santa Fe freight struck the caboose of a Union Pacific local at a crossing in Fullerton, California. The UP conductor was fatally injured. The UP caboose was cut off on the crossing while the rest of the crew switched a local industry. Because of the design of the crossing, the UP car did not shunt the signals. The Santa Fe train was proceeding on a clear indication when it struck the caboose. Santa Fe engines involved: GP30s 1256, 1276, GP35 1454, and SD45 1860. UP caboose 25270. In this scene, UP and Santa Fe track crews are busy restoring the crossing and UP's branch line main. Santa Fe 1276 is on the left and the 1454 is on its side at right.
