On this day:

Two trains


Two trains are traveling east through Alabama on their way to Atlanta. The first train, which is 8,277 feet long, pulls off onto a side track and stops in order to allow the second to pass by. The side track on which it parks is 8,780 feet long. The second train, which is 4,580 feet long, is traveling at 53 mph. At 4:22 PM, it collides with the first due to a misaligned switch on the track.
