Associated Press reports on a derailment at Boulder. From photos both from the AP and The Journal, it appears Uncle Warren is out a C-44 and his ostensible "pal", JBH, is out "a trailer or two" as well as OSD claims from the shipper (who knows to what extent Uncle Warren is on tap?).

Fair Use:
Video of the aftermath showed the two train locomotives sustained severe damage and were off the rails along with several cargo cars. Heavy equipment was being used to remove the wreckage.

Reports originally said it was 2 trains, with one report even saying it was head on causing injuries to the 2 conductors who were steering the trains! :P Latest report is BNSF says the train (just one) struck some BNSF equipment (not further described). Fortunately both crew members have been treated and released from the hospital.
