A dump truck dumps out a load of ballast that will be used in repairs of the track where a derail occurred last Friday morning. An eastbound BNSF Provo-Denver had a truck derail on a tank car. No cars fell over, but there was some track damage. You can clearly see the fresh ballast that has already been laid. A track foreman just checked the gauging here, and is informing DS-380 that a track tamper needs to run through here before two eastbounds. Also note the flood light which has been used at night as crews have been working around the clock to get operations back to normal.
