THE PROCESS OF CLEANING UP AFTER SATURDAY’S TRAIN DERAILMENT IN BELEN IS NOW UNDERWAY. TWO TRAINS SLAMMED INTO EACH OTHER AND DERAILED SIX TRAIN CARS, ACCORDING TO THE BNSF. TWO OF FIVE BNSF STAFFERS ON ONE OF THE TRAINS HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT, BUT NONE OF THE INJURIES WAS LIFE-THREATENING.
THE EFFORT NOW IS TO GET THE TRACKS BACK IN WORKING ORDER. THE CAUSE OF THE COLLISION HASN’T BEEN DETERMINED YET.
