was an amtrak wreck, east bound cz, at russell 11th or 12th of
october 1987. section, track, bridge or some gang left one of the
gates open, either a crossover or lined into a siding. (believe it
was into a siding) was in iowa on vacation and driving around.
remember they were on the ground. believe some amtrak riders were
killed, don't remember how many. can't recall any cz wrecks from
burlington route days, but am sure there was some.
