Looks like Amtrak #1, the Sunset, will only get as far as Tucson.

Ugly and dirty mess! Not going to be a easy cleanup.

UPS will deliver each package that is not totally destroyed.  UPS will send people to the derailment and pick up each package by hand.

Google:  AZStarnet.com.   They have a number of pics of the derailment.

I guess my Black Rifle Coffee order will be delayed. Good thing I prepared for a disaster.  Glad no one was injured. 

This was a washout from flash flood in a wash. The derailed trailers were washed away towards I-10.

Was that an eastbound or westbound train?

The front part of the train is moving towards the Tucson Yard on Main Track 2.  According to ATCS Monitor, the train will be stopping at CP SP 979 Stockham E.

Right around the location of the derailment 2-3 inches of rain fell in a very short time resulting in very high water flows in the washes.  Right now all indications are the derailment was weather related.

About what time would this train have departed Los Angeles.

Amtrak #1 would be going to Los Angeles.  It was running almost 2 hours late before the derailment.

My question was about what time did the Freight train Los Angeles.?

Well aware about the Sunset.

Train one is on the move from Tucson 4 + hours late.

Sorry, you were asking about train #1 in a post earlier, so I thought you meant train #1 still.  From my understanding and railfanning this route, this train probably left LATC early morning.  Dispatch is usually pretty good with their Z train's progress on the Sunset Route.

On another note, they have trains moving on Main 1, starting with the first train going Eastbound at 4:19 AM Arizona Time.
