The Mystery of Who Derailed the Sunset Limited

On October 9, 1995, someone or someones derailed the Sunset Limited train in a remote part of the Arizona desert 21 miles from Hyder. To this day, despite a substantial reward being offered, the FBI has not been able to figure out who is responsible.

After the derailment, mysterious notes from a group that had never been heard from before or since were found, which only added to the mystery. Was this the work of an unknown group that has escaped detection by authorities? A disgruntled employee? A local with a grudge against the railroad? Or maybe something even stranger.

To add to the mystery of the Sunset Limited derailment, the attack was a near copycat of a similar train derailment in 1939, that also remains unsolved.

In this video we head out into a remote part of the Arizona desert and visit the site on the 1995 Sunset Limited derailment.
