On the night of September 6, two tank cars on the BNSF Golden Spur ran away east through Arvada. At C&S Junction, the place where the Golden Spur ends and joins with the Moffat Road, the tank cars derailed and flew down an embankment. In the process, they took out a switch and two block signals (as well as a Chevy S-10 in a parking lot on the ground!). Fortunately, nobody was hurt. The next day, one of the two tank cars lay less than 200 feet from Federal Blvd, trucks missing from the bottom! With the mainline reopened, a BNSF manifest creeps by in the background.
