BNSF TULSA REAR END COLLISION

[NP_Eddie]

ALL:

I read on the computer (don’t remember which screen) that the BNSF had a rear end collision between two freight trains in Tulsa. In viewing the TV clip, the first train was a vehicle train. The comment by the BNSF public information person in the area said that a coupling was vandalized causing the derailment. Of course, that does not make any sense.

The Tulsa CBS station does have any information on this derailment.

Can anyone help?

The only thing I found was about a collision that happened last year.

The NTSB link did not work for me
