Also, what direction is this train going? Looked TO ME, like just a couple of center beams, the tank cars, and lots of ties burning. This will take awhile to repair. Maybe you will catch a detour or two through Wickenburg?

The Tempe transit center and the main stop for Arizona State University are not far to the right out of the picture.
