A loaded coal train passing through Mesa derailed Monday evening, knocking about 30 cars off the track and sparking a major cleanup effort well into today. Mesa resident Tony Eveland took this photo from the hill near his home. The two-person crew was not hurt but the wreck sent a cloud of black coal dust into the sky. The accident happened at 6:30 p.m. and within two hours, 40 personnel were dispatched to the small town in north Franklin County to work on the site through the night, according to BNSF Railway Co.
