Detached Train Cars Cleared After Blocking Intersections in Arvada
A potentially dangerous situation in Arvada has been resolved as detached train cars that were blocking several intersections have been cleared, according to a recent update from the Arvada Police Department.
The incident involved train cars that had decoupled from a coal train, causing obstructions at various intersections in the area. Fortunately, the cars did not derail, and no injuries were reported during the incident. The affected intersections included Oberon Road at Carr Street, W. 61st Avenue at Olde Wadsworth Boulevard, and W. 60th Avenue at Pierce Street.
Authorities confirmed in a post on X.com that the detached train cars were reattached to the coal train in a timely manner, faster than initially expected. The quick resolution of the situation helped minimize the disruption caused by the blocked intersections.
