Suspect Charged in Train-Bulldozer Accident in Illinois
Investigators believe they know how a bulldozer got onto railroad tracks in Collinsville, Ill., last year before being rammed by a train.
Prosecutors in Madison County have charged 24-year-old Nathan Bailey of Collinsville with criminal damage to property over $100,000 in connection with the January 2008 case.
Investigators say the crash near the city’s Glidden Park didn’t cause a derailment or any injuries, although the wreck seriously damaged the CSX locomotive and the bulldozer.
Authorities say the bulldozer belonged to the city and was stolen from a construction site.
