coast starlight hits tree
Posted by blue streak 1 on Friday, March 23, 2012 10:50 PM

Yesterday northbound Coast starlight hit a tree in southern Oregon.  In strange series of happenings hitting the tree apparently caused a mudslide which then derailed the baggage car.  UP sent a loco to pull cars back to a location to board passengers on several bus. If a freight had hit tree one has to wonder depending on car type ??
