BNSF Coal Train Derailment Details Revealed

A BNSF coal train derailment occurred on a rural track near a small town, causing significant damage and disruption to the local environment.

The derailment involved 34 cars, including 17 coal cars, which derailed from the train.

The accident happened near a rural community, where residents reported hearing a loud noise and seeing a massive plume of dust and debris.

Emergency responders were quickly on the scene, and the local fire department worked to extinguish a small fire that had started as a result of the derailment.

BNSF coal trains have a history of derailing, with 177 reported derailments so far this year.

The most recent derailment occurred in Colorado, where a bridge crashed down onto Interstate Highway 25, killing a truck driver.

A 65-year-old bridge was involved in the accident, with the rail bosses saying the state owns it and the Colorado Transportation Department saying BNSF was responsible for inspecting it.

In another incident, 47 cars from a BNSF coal train derailed near Aurora, with no injuries reported but a big mess left behind.

The suspected cause of that derailment was an overheated bearing on the wheel set of the 65th car.

The train was between 100 and 120 cars long, and local crews took several hours to clean up the cars and coal spilled as a result of the derailment.

BNSF said the derailment closed two main tracks, with plans to have one track up and running by 6 p.m. and the other by 9 p.m.

On December 23, 2002, 47 cars from a BNSF coal train derailed northeast of the Iams plant at 1055 W. Highway 34 west of Aurora.

No injuries were reported, but the derailment caused a big mess. An Iams employee called it in after hearing a loud noise and seeing sparks shooting all over the place.

The suspected cause of the derailment was an overheated bearing on the wheel set of the 65th car. Cars No. 64 through 96 were confirmed as derailing. The train was between 100 and 120 cars long.

Local crews contracted by BNSF were working on Tuesday to clean up the cars and coal spilled as a result of the derailment. They had the job done by midnight Tuesday, according to a worker who didn't want to be identified.

The derailment occurred near Aurora, and the exact location is a crucial piece of information.

The train was traveling on a single track that spans the length of the city, and the derailment happened near the intersection of Main Street and Railroad Avenue.

The investigation into the cause of the derailment is ongoing, but officials have confirmed that the train was traveling at a speed of 50 miles per hour at the time of the incident.

The train's route typically takes it through a densely populated area, which raises concerns about the potential impact on local residents and businesses.

Forty-seven cars from a BNSF coal train derailed near Aurora.

The derailment involved a significant portion of the train, with cars numbered 64 through 96 confirmed to have derailed.

Cars No. 64 through 96 were among the 100 to 120 cars on the train that derailed.

The train was a coal train, and the derailment resulted in coal being spilled in the area.
