    I was driving down I8 last weekend and drove by the remains of what looked like a major wreck near Gila Bend. There were several burned out cars and two units with what looked like major fire damage. I stopped in Dateland and asked the waitress what had happened. She said the wreck had happened two weeks earlier and that one train came off the rails due to track warpage and had collided with another train coming the other way. Unfortunately I didn't have a camera with me to document it but there was still quite a bit of wreckage around. Has anybody else out there heard or seen anything on this incident?
