    Messes with your safety record don't you think?

     BNSF Derailment

The NS unit was 3rd in the consist with the 4479, so yes, I believe it was sided-swiped by the 4059, or the force of the collision caused it to derail.

In the crash video, you can clearly see that the camera train has a red over green ('diverging clear') as he approaches Kismet Siding. The other (oncoming) train on the mainline rolls into the turnout and you can see the signal switch to red-over-red just before the camera loco reaches it. Too late, though.

Safety First? Look at the condition of these tracks
