This is from the omaha world herald paper,08-19-04. <br />Union Pacific Corp.the biggest railroad by sales,said an oregan tunnel fire will close its main route on the northern west coast for as long as 10 more days,adding to delays that have reduced profits. <br />The tracks between Eugene,Org., and northern California, a primary route for lumber shipments, may remain closed until Aug 29th,the railroad said on its web site. The fire began Sat. about 75 miles south of eugene and is still burning,spokesman john bromley said in an interview. <br />The fire "is going to be a signifcant service interruption," bromley said. <br />Sparks from a locomotive may have ignited wood in the tunnel to start the blaze,he said. <br />The omaha base company doesn't have an estimate of costs to repair the tunnel.. <br />--BLOOMBERG NEWS.
