GARDEN CITY, Kansas — An apparently minor BNSF Railway derailment has led to cancellations of Amtrak’s Southwest Chief.
Images on the KSNW-TV website show a small number of covered hoppers, perhaps as few as a half-dozen, involved in the derailment. The viewers who provided the photos said the incident was 15 to 20 miles east of Garden City, which would place it near Charleston, Kan., on BNSF’s La Junta Subdivision.
As a result, the westbound Southwest Chief which departed Chicago today (July 24) will be cancelled between Kansas City and Los Angeles, and the eastbound Chief that left Los Angeles on Tuesday, July 23, will be cancelled between La Junta, Colo., and Kansas City, according to the Amtrak Alerts feed on X.com.
