New Mexico State Police confirmed high winds of around 80 mph derailed the rear 26 cars of a Union Pacific freight train as it crossed an elevated span over the Canadian River near the small town of Logan on Wednesday afternoon. The cars fell at least 40 feet into a broad ravine, landing upside down in a crumpled line of smashed containers and overturned flatcars. It could easily be a model train set tossed around by a child.

Thankfully, no one was injured in the derailment, though damage to the bridge's railroad ties can be seen in the photos shared by police on Twitter. The line has been closed until further notice as it's being repaired.
Guess there was no human freight!

I don't think this storm is ever going to be done. Santa Fe Ski Area got 5 or 6" of snow this morning. Wolf
Creek in Colorado got 4' of snow in 3 days. It was snowing up on our Sandia Mts. on the East edge of Albuquerque this afternoon.
Tornadoes in a small town in SE New Mexico destroyed 11 homes and a herd of 150 dairy cows had to be euthanized due to injuries they sustained in the tornado.
