GOLDEN, Colo. — Two people were taken to a hospital with what were described as minor injuries after a Regional Transportation District light rail train derailed today at the Jefferson County Government Center in Golden.
The RTD said in a press release that the first car of a W Line light rail train derailed about 9:30 a.m. Five people — the operator and four passengers — were on board, with two of the passengers transported to the hospital by first responders.
Video on the KUSA-TV website indicates the train ran off the end of track and up a hillside at the station, knocking down a poll supporting the overhead catenary line.
The Government Center station is closed until further notice, with shuttle bus service replacing light rail operation between Red Rocks College and the Government Center station.
