AMBOY, Neb. — One person in a vehicle was killed Thursday (Feb. 19) in a grade crossing collision that derailed a BNSF Railway train in Amboy.
BNSF said in a statement to Nebraska Television that the accident occurred about 10 a.m. when “a vehicle struck an empty grain train at a crossing near Red Cloud, Neb., derailing 10 cars. There were no reported injuries to the crew. The vehicle occupant was fatally injured.” The collision occurred at a crossing protected with lights and bells, the railroad said.
U.S. Route 136 was closed by the incident but reopened early on Friday, the Webster County Sheriff’s Office reported on social media.
The derailment occurred on BNSF’s Wymore Subdivision, a 20-mile branch line paralleling the Nebraska-Kansas state line between Lester Junction and Superior, Neb. The accident site is approximately 33 miles due south of Hastings, Neb.
