Heading south from Minturn, Engineer Milt Blount and his crew were clearing a snow slide at Belden Station when the locomotive they were driving hit a loosened rail and turned over into the Eagle River. Milt suffered serious injuries of scalding from the firebox and shock from his arm being pinned under the engine; his crewmates suffered head trauma, scalding, and steam inhalation from the boiler.

This wreck occurred west of Glenwood Springs with no injuries. A wrecking derrick was called in from Grand Junction to remove the wrecked cars off the line so rail travel could resume.

It could take days for a wreck to be cleared and repairs to the rails would sometimes be necessary.
