Western Railroad Discussion > The Other AZ Wreck, PeavineDate: 08/13/20 21:36 The Other AZ Wreck, Peavine Author: mococomike A few weeks before UP made headlines with the Tempe Bridge wreck BNSF quietly piled up a bunch of cars at MP 96 on the Peavine between Grand View and Hillside, AZ This area is very remote with no access roads and BNSF had to bulldoze a nice new road to access and clean up the carnage. Here are some shots of wreckage after the line has been cleared.

BB Date: 08/14/20 05:42 Re: The Other AZ Wreck, Peavine Author: SCUfoamer Thanks for posting. Your photographs document the scene well, and a few creative shots as well. Thank you for posting.
Date: 08/14/20 07:52 Re: The Other AZ Wreck, Peavine Author: 3rdswitch Wow, lots of LPG tanks, that would NOT have been good. I see the "tight lock" couplers worked. Nice effort on your part to get in there. I'll bet you'll find some new angles with the new "road".
JB Date: 08/14/20 09:04 Re: The Other AZ Wreck, Peavine Author: PHall Well if you're going to derail some LPG tanks that looks like the place to do it.
Out in the open and away from everything! Date: 08/14/20 09:13 Re: The Other AZ Wreck, Peavine Author: GettingShort Good series Mike.

Date: 08/14/20 10:36 Re: The Other AZ Wreck, Peavine Author: Railfan4Christ Wow, some serious damage. Yeah if you have to derail hazmat cars, doing it in the middle of nowhere is better than in town. BTW, where is this new "road" at?

Date: 08/15/20 06:14 Re: The Other AZ Wreck, Peavine Author: jmbreitigan Some nice photos along the Peavine. Some nice angles at the wreck site. Did you use an SUV on the temporary road ?
John Date: 08/15/20 08:12 Re: The Other AZ Wreck, Peavine Author: mococomike Hi John, The new service road is good for normal vehicles, 4x4 not needed unless muddy.
