UP 5355
Title:  UP 5355
Description:  This is the lead engine on the train that the woman drove into. She hit near the rear of the train.....about 10 cars from the end, and the crew didn't know that they had been hit. The dispatcher stopped all north bound traffic, as it was determined a north bound train was involved. This one stopped, seen here, on a siding in Galt, CA about 15 miles north of the accident.
