"BNSF had 30-plus cars run away from Rennick Yard Denver into 31st Street. Salt Mine job with two units, BNSF 2505 and GP28M 1532, were hit by cars doing about 40 mph. BNSF 2505's frame is all that remained after Coors tank cars slammed into switch job."

The 'silver bullet' lived up to it's reputation. I hope the engineer was in the other engine.

My guess;
The beer cans rear ended the salt cars hard enough to drive the front tank car through the 2502 unit and onto the engine of the 1532.
Both ends of the frame of the 2505 look trashed, but the lead unit should be repairable, if it's worth the cost.
