I have a nice view of the UP line as it goes over the Colorado.  I noticed
this morning that an empty freight was going a little faster than usual up
the grade and around the curve.  Then just as the loco's past the Amtrak
station, the 1st two cars (a hopper and a gondola) derailed.  I watched it
happen.  

Photos attached.
