Authorities investigate the aftermath of a train derailment at mile marker 106 on Northbound I-25 north of Pueblo on Oct. 16, 2023. The highway likely will be shut down for several days- and potentially longer- after 30 cars derailed north of Pueblo and a rail bridge over the highway collapsed, state and federal officials said on Monday. A truck driver was killed when the bridge collapsed above the truck.
“Investigators will continue to determine the cause of the broken rail and why warnings systems did not alert the crews to the condition of the track as part of the ongoing investigation,” NTSB spokeswoman Sarah Taylor Sulick said in an email. BSNF Railway, which operated the train and owned the line upon which it ran, said the bridge was owned by the state. The Colorado Department of Transportation initially said the bridge was owned by the railway, but a spokesman said Monday afternoon that the agency is now digging back through its records to determine who has ultimate responsibility for the 65-year-old structure.
Debris cannot be fully cleared from the interstate until federal investigators complete their on-site work, which may take several days. Debris cleanup may take another two days after that, Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement Monday.Colorado has the four most expensive housing markets in U.S.
