A look at what is left of Main 1 through a chain link fence. The tracks were torn up pretty bad...as a result of the derailment or as a result of the work crews...or both!

Man, that had to hurt! One of the 17 tank cars that derailed in the Littleton trench has been successfully re-railed on new wheel sets.

BNSF was constantly bringing in new wheel sets on the back of flat bed trailers. Three wheel sets per trailer. The new wheel sets are used to transport the derailed tank cars...at least, the ones that can be re-railed!

A 470mm shot looking up the Littleton trench from the south end. Three tank cars have been re-railed and placed on Main 2. Note that there is quite a bit of damage on the northbound Light Rail track.

Three new wheel sets are being brought into the trench on Main 1. Since there is a downhill slope into the trench, the CAT just stayed ahead of the wheel sets and let them free-roll down into the trench, keeping them from going too fast.
