    In the afternoon on May 13, 2002, near Stilwell, KS (I believe), a farmer in his tractor tried to cross the tracks in front of UP 4853. He was wearing ear phones and apparently didn't hear the train coming in his air conditioned cab. He obviously didn't look either, and the result ended up being fatal.
