Train Derailment in Boulder Injures Two and Destroys Rail Bridge

BNSF Railway investigates the cause of the crash that led to fuel spill and power outages; roads now reopened.

  • Two conductors sustained minor injuries and were treated at a hospital.
  • The derailment involved a mile-long train, damaging several cars and a rail bridge.
  • Initial fuel spill concerns were mitigated as sand absorbed the leaked fuel.
  • Power outages affected around 92 households but have since been resolved.
  • Heavy equipment is being used to clear the wreckage, with cleanup efforts ongoing.
