Two train cars derailed in El Paso, Texas, killing a conductor and hitting a gas line, which forced the evacuation of local residents. Track work had been being done Monday and a derailment device had been placed to protect workers from oncoming trains, which would be directed elsewhere. But the device wasn’t removed when required and train traffic could resume, according to the El Paso Police Department. (Photo courtesy of El Paso Fire Department)
