'What happened here in Pueblo yesterday is the canary in the coal mine that we have to get it right before we move forward,' Democratic Sen. Nick Hinrichsen said.
PUEBLO, Colo. — Preliminary information from the National Transportation Safety Board shows a broken rail likely caused a deadly train derailment near Pueblo last Sunday.
Investigators think the broken rail preceded the derailment and the bridge collapse happened after the train derail. They'll continue to investigate why the rail was broken and why warning systems didn't alert the crew to the condition of the track, NTSB said.
