From Staff and Wire Reports
A National Transportation Safety Board team arrived in Grayson County on Thursday to investigate the collision of two freight trains that collided head-on Wednesday afternoon several miles north of Gunter. The collision killed one person, injured four others and closed a major rail line north of Dallas.
U.S. Department of Transportation officials were also on the scene early Thursday.
About 20 cars from the Burlington Northern Santa Fe trains derailed, but officials said there were no hazardous materials involved. However, a hazardous materials crew was called to the scene to clean up spilled diesel fuel. One train was loaded with rocks; one is empty. At least one of the locomotives burned, officials said.
