<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">BLS53,</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Your point is well taken. I would like to know a little more about the bridge. I understand that it is a new bridge, but maybe not completely new. I have heard that U.P. objected to the bridge design. I understand there have been other derailments there, and the bridge may have been knocked down in one or more of those. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Who would be responsible if the bridge failed from a design defect or from a construction defect?</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">I find it rather curious that U.P. has been so quick to rule out the possibility of a bridge failure as the first cause. And it is also curious that they have been so quick to announce the cause as being a sun kink. Usually officials are tight-lipped about these things. We are constantly told that they refuse to speculate. This time it seems like officials are engaged in a speculation jamboree. </span></span></p>
