Passenger Trains > 30Jan2024 #6 CZ Wreck Consist: Rotting Away in ColoradoDate: 04/17/24 13:11 30Jan2024 #6 CZ Wreck Consist: Rotting Away in Colorado Author: 37176 Noted from my 5hr late #5 yesterday:
The entire consist of the 30Jan2024 Keenseburg milk truck wreck of #6 is parked on the loop tracks at the oil terminal east of Keenesburg. All cars appear undamaged and fit for service. Impounded? Insurance related? Inquired of my mate Pumpkinhogger as to their status, he sez: "They could move them if they wanted to, clearly they do not. Being left to rot for no reason whatsoever by critically equipment-short Amtrak. Just another way to keep the bonus up and keep the ridership down; anything to cut the long-hauls off at the knees." 37176 Rugby UK Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 04/17/24 13:19 by 37176.

maybe the amtrak and western dairy cooperative are trying to settle this out here? behind a fence at least, a lot of cars had fires nearby in hudson when roaring fork stored their cars there awaiting auction many years ago Date: 04/17/24 14:36 Re: 30Jan2024 #6 CZ Wreck Consist: Rotting Away in Colorado Author: CubsFanJohn Not to defend Amtrak but I'm wondering if the NTSB hasn't released it from being investigated yet?

Date: 04/17/24 15:36 Re: 30Jan2024 #6 CZ Wreck Consist: Rotting Away in Colorado Author: jp1822 The cars that were involved in the wreck in Joplin, MT were moved back to Beech Grove faster - and that had a much more complex case, with two totally wrecked cars beyond repair, and more injuries and several fatalities etc. This is just absolutely ridiculous. They could at least get them protected by moving them back to Denver. I am cognizant of the NTSB investigation that has to get done, as well as the insurance claims etc.

Date: 04/17/24 17:36 Re: 30Jan2024 #6 CZ Wreck Consist: Rotting Away in Colorado Author: lordsigma Rampant armchair speculation on a situation where people were injured based on no knowledge of the situation. The injection of bonuses into literally every discussion is really obnoxious and getting old - as if Amtrak is the only company in the world where managers get bonuses.

They probably all require some underbody and truck work. I guess they decided they can sit in a secured location until they can fix them. Maybe BNSF has not cleared them to move, even at restricted speed? I wonder if the milk truck cab is back in service? LOL!

I live 2 miles from it and drive by it all the time.
