A diesel powered train was headed North out of Nenana Yard
with a heavy train and they doubled the grade up to the Mears Bridge, leaving
part of their train and the nearly new caboose setting on the main line.The
801 was running ballast/gravel hoppers and came upon the standing caboose
and partial train moving too fast to stop. The 406 was the switcher assigned
to the Nenana Yard and was not
involved in the wreck. - Patrick Durand
