Let the cries for PTC continue!UPDATE: Two Union Pacific trains were involved in the crash. One train rear ended the other while both were headed eastbound on the tracks.
One train had six railcars derailed, and the other had two locomotives and one railcar derailed, according to Union Pacific Railroad. The crash happened in Gasconade County and spread to Osage County.
