Derailment down by Little Sahara

.....This could’ve happened just as easily in the heart of SLC along commuter rail, homes, apartments, businesss, banks, interstates. Minutes matter and without a proper crew consist or worse, autonomous trains, emergencies like this will have much greater consequences and impacts on communities.

This is about as real as it gets in Woods Cross. That would be a pretty big deal with the oil refineries and such around. I'm sure other places on the Wasatch Front would be affected similarly?

Uniquely the wasatch front closely combines the rail with a dense mix of everything mentioned.

Looks like the controlled explosion did not disappoint!

Not sure why those 2 last embedded videos won't show, but the 1st link plays one of the videos of the detonation.

I think it was pretty intense to see, fires still burning out there around 1 am. Main track is back together I doubt you’ll see any road closures or issues going forward
