Here is the problem car! This is the tank car that derailed on the BNSF Provo-Denver last Friday morning. The truck on the right side popped off the rail and was dragged along for several hundred feet before the train came to a stop. Fortunately, no other cars derailed, and no cars fell over! A new wheel set has been placed under the car, but it still remains in the house track at Rocky until BNSF can come and take it back to Denver. The flat car to the left was not involved in the derailment. It was set up from a different train several days earlier.
