SW Chiefs at Trinidad Accident Site
Posted by rjemery on Friday, July 1, 2016 11:31 PM

Anyone know how long the w/b SW Chief was held at the accident site near Trinidad, CO, before it was allowed to proceed?

Was there damage to the track and/or locomotive that needed immediate repairs?

Was the e/b SW Chief also delayed by the accident?  How many hours?

Assuming on time scheduling, where do the two SW Chiefs meet?  Which train has priority?
