BNSF drained the diesel fuel from all four units that derailed when the Longmont Turn struck a tree stump in the tracks. The hoses are now detached as the draining is complete. Note a few wheel sets laying around.

OMLX 1451, an SW14, was being used at Coors to perform switching duties after a Coors switcher went into the shops for repair. The switcher was on its way back to Loveland on the Longmont Turn when the Turn derailed after striking an tree stump in the tracks.

A Heritage 2 GP60M, BNSF 143, rests on its side (still apparently coupled to the SD70MAC ahead of it) after the Longmont Turn struck a tree stump the night before.

BNSF 9801 rests completely on its side after a major derailment on the Front Range Sub. The Longmont Turn struck a tree stump that was believed to be put on the tracks intentionally.

An SD60M (still in cascade green) and an SD70MAC are derailed after the Longmont Turn struck a tree stump in the tracks the night before. Amazing that the SD60M did not fall completely on its side!

A look at the back end of BNSF 8105. The unit - along with half the train - derailed after striking a tree stump in the tracks. It is believed that it was deliberately placed there.

BNSF 8105 sits at a 45 degree angle after derailing the night before. Apparently a tree stump was in the middle of the tracks, causing the Longmont Turn to derail.

Power from the HPASSAG heads south - light - at Olde Wadsworth Blvd. The power is headed toward MP 8.5 to save the Valmont coal load. The Valmont train lost a unit and stalled out on Westminster Hill, blocking 80th Avenue.

A very long string of military vehicles ride on the backs of flat cars on their way north. EMD 9082 and BNSF 7031 lead the train, elephant style, north through Westminster.

A badly faded B40-8W warbonnet and MRL SD40 lead the northbound QDENTAC-09 through Westminster. The doublestack is about to pass underneath 92nd Avenue. Looks like the crew wanted to get some fresh air in the cab!
