REMOTE DERAILMENT PINE BLUFF

A Union Pacific remote control job (K043 YT35 B36R) went through a control point on the Jonesboro Subdivision, crashing into the side of a train on mainline track that was carrying hazardous materials. The remote control unit hit the freight train on the mainline, derailing 11 cars. The remote control unit was pulling over 100 cars and was operated by two junior employees (both were recently employed in early 2004).
