In the early morning light, a disastrous scene is revealed on the Colorado plains about 40 miles east of Denver. Last night, a semi truck (reportedly hauling milk) cross the grade crossing in from of the eastbound Zephyr. The train struck the truck, derailing both engines and several cars. All the cars remained upright. The engines did not. This morning, crews are working to clean up the derailment.

You can see that the switch is bent and aligned in to the siding of Irondale at the west switch. It might appear that the signal is displaying a red over dark aspect, but it is actually red over flashing red...the shot is just in the middle of the flash. This is a restricting indication as the siding of Irondale does not have any occupancy.

The eastbound Zephyr is running 12 1/2 hours late as it approaches the west switch of Tonville. The train departed Emeryville, CA almost 10 hours late, and lost more time enroute. The train is trying to make up time as best it can, moving along at track speed as it passes by the frozen pond. Three P42DCs are on the point today, and in addition to the baggage car, there are Superliners in tow.

Here at Brush, the BNSF Brush Sub continues to the north toward Sterling, while the BNSF Akron Sub breaks off and starts heading east toward Lincoln, NE and (eventually) Chicago, IL. The signals in the distance are where the two subdivision converge when heading west toward Denver. Power for a local sit alongside the two mainlines.

Approaching the east end of BNSF's Brush Subdivision, this Q-Train is crossing the South Platte River on the final day of 2023. Not far ahead, the train will (seamlessly) move from BNSF's Brush Sub to UP's Julesburg Sub. BNSF has trackage rights on the Julesburg Sub between Union (just ahead) and Sterling, CO. Indeed, BNSF is the only railroad that uses this 24-mile stretch of UP's Julesburg Sub.
