Train Derails Near Friend


Here's another reminder why you should never get too close to the tracks when you find yourself waiting at a
railroad crossing.

The Friend Sentinel reports that a Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway train derailed early Monday morning, Nov. 25, near Friend.

“The train derailed on the siding and was moving slowly when it derailed,” Andy Williams, BNSF public affairs director, said.

The Friend newspaper reports that out of the 75 cars, seven of them derailed and four fell on their sides.
