Train derails in Colorado, spills hundreds of gallons of diesel fuel
Hundreds of gallons of diesel fuel spilled early Wednesday after a cargo train derailed in Colorado, authorities said.
The locomotive derailed just before 1 a.m. on the Great Western Railway Line in Loveland, a town about 50 miles north of Denver, the Loveland Fire Rescue Authority said in a Facebook post.
While the locomotive did not tip over, a fuel tank was punctured and spilled diesel fuel.
Fire officials said the leak was contained, and no diesel fuel reached nearby waterways.

The diesel spill was contained, and no fuel entered waterways, according to fire officials. (KCNC)
“Great Western Railway is working with their HazMat remediation company to clean up the fuel as well as get the locomotive back on the tracks,” the fire department said.

Highway 1 closure in San Francisco expected to snarl Sunset traffic all weekend
San Francisco drivers may soon experience even worse traffic than they did last weekend when a part of Interstate 80 shut down. This weekend, Highway 1 northbound from Sloat to Lincoln in the Sunset District will be closed starting Friday morning.
Muriel Scala has lived on 19th Avenue for over 20 years. She’s lost count of the endless construction projects in front of her home.
“It’s like having a mini earthquake every day in your house,” Scala said.
Scala is not looking forward to CalTrans repaving 19th Avenue. Starting at 7 a.m. Friday, the northbound lanes will be closed until Monday, with two additional closures over the next month to fix all 6 lanes of Highway 1.
“I’m frustrated because I don’t see an end result,” she said. “It keeps happening.”
Some other neighbors on 19th Avenue shared the same frustrations.
“It’s the price I pay to live on 19th Avenue, honestly,” Bailey Zuk said.
Zuk is worried about the parking and traffic. She has made plans to take public transportation all weekend. She doesn’t like the disruption and noise but knows 19th Avenue has to be fixed.
“Which is obviously really needed, like there are so many potholes,” Zuk said. “I drive up and down 19th Avenue every day and there’s so many potholes already.”
Some of the businesses along the main business corridor on Irving Street say they didn’t know that the closure was even happening. Jet Seeto with The Mochi Donut Shop just heard about it yesterday.
“We are the little guy in this area,” Seetos said. “We need to accept it and prepare ourselves.”
Seeto says she’s preparing to drum up more business by doing online orders, even offering delivery if people are reluctant to drive. She’s trying to stay positive about the 19th Avenue closure.
“It is what it is because it affects anyway,” Seeto said. “If I think I worry too much, it doesn’t help me.”
And residents say they will do the same.. as they brace themselves for 3 weekends of road work.
“It’s not going to stop doing what I need to do,” Scala said. “I’m going to keep doing it.”

Wolves Back Up the Big Talk With Blowout Win Over Denver in Game 3
“They’re all bad defenders.”
Jaden McDaniels called out Denver’s stars after Game 2, and the Wolves proved him right by bulldozing the Nuggets 113-96 in Game 3 Thursday night in Minneapolis
Minnesota has taken control of the series with a 2-1 lead, and Game 4 is in Minneapolis on Saturday night. With another win, the Wolves would lead the series 3-1 and put the Nuggets in a must-win situation entering Game 5 on Monday in Denver.
The Wolves attacked the paint and made Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Cam Johnson, Tim Hardaway Jr., and anyone else McDaniels trash-talked after Game 2, from start to finish. Minnesota held Denver to a season low 11 points in the first quarter, built a 61-39 lead at the half, and led by as many as 27 points in the second half.
The damage was done despite Anthony Edwards battling foul trouble, scoring only 17 points in 24 minutes. Julius Randle also struggled to score, finishing with 15 points on 6-for-15 shooting. Naz Reid had just five points in 17 minutes off the bench.
So who killed Denver? The others.
Ayo Dosunmu was a beast with 25 points off the bench, most of his damage coming in transition or simply blowing by Denver’s defense for layups in the half-court.
McDaniels was a monster, capping his big night with a three-pointer and then a monster jam in traffic late in the fourth quarter to put an exclamation point on the blowout. He finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds, knocking down 9 of 13 shots, all while playing relentless defense. Prime Video analyst and NBA Hall of Fame inductee Dwyane Wade said McDaniels’ defense was so tight that it was like he was wearing Murray’s jersey.
The Wolves scored 68 points in the paint, compared to 34 for the Nuggets.
Rudy Gobert and Donte DiVincenzo were also great. Gobert finished with 10 points, 12 rebounds, and three blocks. DiVincenzo had 15 points, seven assists, and four steals.
Jokic couldn’t buy a bucket, largely because Gobert, the four-time Defensive Player of the Year, dominated him. The three-time MVP finished with 27 points and 15 rebounds, but he shot just 7 of 26 from the field.
Murray also struggled, scoring 16 points on 5-for-17 shooting.
The Nuggets shot 34.1%, their worst shooting game of the entire season.
Up next: Game 4, Saturday at 7:30 p.m. CT. The game will be televised on ABC.

‘Rare’ Tiny-Home Compound Featuring 3 Adorable Abodes Hits the Market in Seattle for Just $900K
A unique collection of tiny homes built across a single lot in Seattle has just hit the market for the bargain price of $900,000. That boils down to just $300,000 per home.
Located on the outskirts of Puget Park, the properties have been meticulously restored in recent years, having previously been used as accommodation for staff at a nearby industrial estate.
“When the sellers bought the property, they were three little huts that were falling apart,” says listing agent Patti Hill of John L. Scott–West Seattle.
“They were used as workers’ homes. The sellers rebuilt them between 2021 and 2023, and now they are way cool.”
Originally constructed in 1907 in the gated Industrial District West, the multifamily cedar-sided cottages have come a long way from the crumbling structures that the sellers found in 2015, when they purchased the property for just $60,000.
Today, the three dwellings boasts modernized spaces with loft-style interiors and a world of opportunity for their future use.
Each Pigeon Point residence offers one bedroom, one bathroom, and a kitchen space, meaning that they can operate as entirely independent properties.
Hardwood and concrete floors, exposed beams, sleek kitchens and bathrooms, skylights, and energy-efficient thermal windows can be found throughout the interiors. Each tiny home also has a private deck.
For the past few years, the compound has operated as a kind of micro-neighborhood, with each dwelling serving as a private residence for a long-term renter.
“The sellers have long-term renters using them,” Hill explains. “I think the next buyer will probably be an investor who will keep it as a rental property. It could also be someone looking to live in one of the cottages as a primary residence and rent the other two out.”
Alternatively, the compound would be a unique multigenerational abode. Or if a group of friends are looking to get onto the property ladder for a lower price, it could be turned into a kind of modern commune.
“An ideal setup for investors, owner-users, or anyone looking for a unique multi-home property in a prime Seattle location,” the listing notes.
Located on just one fully fenced-in lot, the triplex community is centered around a patio, offering a “shared community vibe,” while also maintaining the privacy of each resident.
“All of the residents get along, and there is a fire pit that everyone uses,” Hill says.
What’s more, because the homes all occupy a single lot, the taxes are incredibly low. Records show that 2025 fees were just $8,106 for all three properties.
“It’s one lot. We didn’t split the lot, so it’s one tax parcel,” the listing agent confirms.
Almost as intriguing as the three detached cottage assemblage is the compound’s unusual site.
“It’s an interesting location that is very industrial,” Hill reveals. “There is a working waterway a block away where ships come in and load containers.”
