A few hundred feet from the tracks at the base of Coal Creek Canyon is a CDOT facility. Plows will fill with sand here to keep CO-72 clear in the winter months. CDOT crews said they hear loud crashing sounds and looked out the window to see freight cars rolling down the embankment as the MNYRO derailed.
