KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Kansas City, Kansas, officials say a contractor for BNSF Railway died after falling into a train car full of grain.
Fire department officials say 48-year-old James Breedlove died in the accident Monday at railroad yards in Kansas City, Kansas. Authorities did not release his hometown.
Fire department deputy chief Craig Duke says Breedlove fell into the train car while grain was being transferred from the car to a semitrailer.
