Cars lay on their sides...or in some cases, are piled on top of one another...after a westbound coal train derailed at the west end of Hudson. The road in the foreground is I-76. The derailment took place on the west edge of Hudson, CO.

Coal mixes with dirt, which mixes with steel a wood, among the wreckage of a derail coal train at the west switch of Hudson. The derailment was causing a lot of cars on I-76 to slow down and check out the scene. Local PD was patrolling the shoulder, keeping cars from stopping on the shoulder.

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.

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).
