The main north-south highway in Colorado is expected to remain closed several more days as work crews clear debris after a weekend train derailment. The derailment caused a bridge collapse that killed a truck driver and left coal piled across Interstate 25 north of Pueblo. A nine-mile stretch of the interstate was shut down. It is used by around 40,000 vehicles daily. Officials said Tuesday there is no reason to believe the derailment was sabotage. A preliminary report from investigators is due in several weeks.
