One Big, Black Mess

A derailment of 39 coal cars from a BNSF train near Manzanola yesterday is still in the process of being cleaned up. No injuries were reported, but several coal cars were damaged. An aerial photo of the wreck can be found in the story from the Pueblo Chieftain. The cause is still unknown.

    From the story it looks like it happened Jan 1st, not the 8th.

    Whoops. You're right. That explains the feeling of deja vu. Thanks for catching that!
