Whoops! That's gonna leave a mark. The handbrake on this covered hopper failed to get set. The hopper was on the BNSF Golden Branch (that leads to Coors) and ended up rolling east down the line! It was going roughly 45 MPH when it hit the switch at C&S Junction and derailed. What looks like snow in the foreground are actually little plastic (non-toxic) beads, which the hopper was carrying.

It is a cold, overcast January afternoon as this eastbound Provo-Denver manifest passes by C&S Junction. No shortage of power on this trackage rights train! It breaks down to five C44-9Ws, an ES44DC, and an SD75M.
