When this coal load derailed at the west switch of Hudson, it broke apart in to three pieces. Here, the front third (to the right) stayed on the tracks. The middle third can be seen back a bit. The last few cars on that section derailed, but stayed upright. The final section of the train had the most cars derail (and about 20 of them fell on their side).

BNSF 8802 was the lead unit on this westbound coal load that derailed at the west end of Hudson. Here, a fresh crew has arrived to assist in the cleanup operation. Later in the afternoon, the crew would take the front portion of the train that didn't derail down to the siding of Tonville.

A coal load, led by a great looking SD70MAC (with the original "Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway" herald still on the nose) progresses west out of Hudson. If you look carefully in the distance, you can see a train in the siding at Hudson. That is the Hudson Turn, a local which regularly switches out a large industry just northeast of town. This coal load, which is following I-76, will take the siding at Tonville to meet an eastbound manifest.
