At 21:30 on January 12, BNSF suffered another remote control derailment.
This one was in the Amarillo South Yard (former ATSF). The crew of job
Y-AMS2022-12 drug out of the west end of one of the tracks on to the
lead and struck the middle of train M-KCKAMS1-11 shoving into track 105.
Four cars of the M train derailed, all upright with one of the cars
ending up on the running board of slug 3959. The 3959 was the leading
end of the yard move and it sustained the most damage. GP7 3830
sustained some damage and had a truck frame broken. The cause was a
familiar one with RCL incidents, no one on the leading end of the
movement.
