Ooof. I know that spot!
We have a race down near there this coming Saturday.

There was talk of road closures in the area, but they didn't actually say what & where. I would think that by Saturday all the hazmat cars will be taken care of and roads will be opened, but you never know.

And I’ll add that because of there being a qualified two person crew consist aboard that train they were the first means of critical contact and communication of the derailment to first responders and emergency personnel and were able to to cut away the front portion of that train mitigating risk as evidenced by media photography.

Support two person crew bills. Get involved with politics. 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.
