ATSF 5907 • Fullerton CA • 12/31/74

            There is not much time left for 1974 as a westbound Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway freight heads west through Basta, two miles west of the train station in Fullerton.  ATSF F45 5907 (the former ATSF 1907) and its two companion SD45s have already hit the diamond of the Union Pacific crossing, protected by the two cantilever signals.  This was the location of a fatal accident nearly five years earlier, on February 17, 1970, when the Union Pacific’s Anaheim Local set its caboose (UP CA-5 class 25270) and two cars on the crossing to activate red indications on the signals protecting the crossing … and a 173-foot dead space prevented the equipment being sensed.  As a result an eastbound Santa Fe freight, led by GP30 1256, slammed into the caboose, killing the UP conductor within.  (Fullerton, California – December 31, 1974)
