That left a mark! On December 3, 2025, UP 5734 was leading a coal empty on the North Fork Branch when the train struck a boulder on the tracks. The crew survived with relatively minor injuries. Not sure if UP 5734 will ultimately survive. It is finally being transported east from Grand Junction, but it is unclear if it will be repaired, or scrapped and written off.
