Federal investigators say the BNSF Railway train involved in a collision that killed two crew members last month near Red Oak sped up shortly before hitting a stopped maintenance train. The NTSB says the crew was properly warned that the tracks were blocked, but didn't use the emergency brakes. Conductor Patricia Hyatt and engineer Tom Anderson, both died April 17 when their coal train rear-ended another eastbound BNSF train. The investigation may take 18 months to complete.
