FONTANA, Calif. -- A Southern California surgical team has amputated the arm of a freight train engineer to free him from the wreckage of a locomotive that rear-ended a slow moving freighter on tracks 50 miles east of Los Angeles.

The westbound Union Pacific train struck a slower-moving train in the Fontana at about 11:55 p.m. Thursday.

Two people aboard the train are hospitalized.

San Bernardino County fire spokesman Maurice Moore says firefighters were unable to get the trapped engineer out of the wrecked Union Pacific locomotive and a surgical team was called in to amputate his arm. He's in critical condition at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.

The other railroad worker is hospitalized with unknown moderate injuries.
