Spray paint is all that remains from the collision between A737-10 and Q650-09          
A737-10, with CSX 5810, had died on the hours of service. The crew had lined the south siding switch for their move but failed to restore the switch for the main. A heavy fog, a heavy train and a grade kept the resulting head-on wreck from being much worse as Q650-09 entered the improperly lined switch and struck the standing train.
