This wreck occurred west of Glenwood Springs with no injuries. A wrecking derrick was called in from Grand Junction to remove the wrecked cars off the line so rail travel could resume. Derricks were specially designed cranes mounted onto cars and at that time had around a 100-ton capacity. Logistically, bringing in a derrick was a considerable undertaking. It could take days for a wreck to be cleared and repairs to the rails would sometimes be necessary.
