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).

When this BNSF coal train derailed, cars "accordioned" (as they often do in derailments), resulting in cars piled on top of cars and some of the cars perpendicular to the track. Or, to where the track was! Must have been an amazing site to see when this happened.

A rough start to Spring 2015 for BNSF on the Brush Sub. A broken wheel on this coal train caused 25-30 cars to derail on the west switch at Hudson. Most of the derailed cars fell over (and some appeared to be banged up well beyond repair), but a few of the derailed cars stayed upright. You can see the crews to the left, assembling and preparing to go to work to get the track reopened.

Got coal? There was quite a bit of it laying on the ground at the west switch of Hudson after this westbound BNSF coal load derailed. There were no injuries and no engines were involved. The derailment did, however, take out the west switch at Hudson as well as the eastbound signal. Crews definitely have their work cut out for them!
The train loaded at the Black Thunder Mine (in the Powder River Basin) and was headed for Amarillo, TX.
