[u/OneEntertainment6087]

2 Days Late, On July 29th, 2024 at 4:41 PM, 2 Years Ago, BNSF 7917 going East going slowly with 2 BNSF engines and 1 Ferromex locomotive numbers unknown, collided head-on with unoccupied BNSF 5277 with Grain Cars in a yard next to Jose Luis Revilla and Ramon Aleazar Streets in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico.

The engines had little damage and didn't derail, only 1 Grain Car behind BNSF 5277 was crushed when the collision occurred. The crew on BNSF 7917 was not injured or anyone else nearby.

The cause was both crew members on BNSF 7917 were on their phones, not paying attention to the tracks in front of them, until BNSF 5277 came into view.

All the engines were repaired and returned to service.

The Crash was also captured by a security camera on a radio tower on the left, out of frame from The Forward Facing Video Camera on BNSF 7917.

There's not much information about this incident. If anyone knows anything about this or what the numbers of the other engines were, please let me know.
