Please forgive me if this has been addressed before. It appears to be a wrecked M1 on the ground at the Transportation Technology Center in Pueblo, CO. Coordinates are 38 26 38.0N 104 17 25.9W.

Train involved was reportedly the 659, the 5:44 Harlem Line express from Grand Central to Southeast. Thoughts and prayers to those affected.

I just came across this one, appears to be relatively new. "Big Easy Express" is a documentary about three bands, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Mumford &Sons, taking their tour on a train, from San Francisco to New Orleans. Sounds like a great idea...
