News Photos Palmer Lake Derailment - 28-Nov-2007

Sometime during the night, a northbound empty coal train derailed near the County Line Road crossing in Palmer Lake. The derailment itself was apparently relatively minor, as only one wrecked car was seen (news reports say two cars) and there appeared to be little damage other than to the grade crossing. The crossing was opened for traffic again around 1100h on Wednesday morning.

One of the offending cars - BNSF 535382 - sits on the ground. Sorry about the focus - camera focused on falling snow rather than the car.
