Hi Ed, According to media reports out here in California, (also suspect, except for the many miles trveled) the UP had well over 25 minutes to alert the authorities to several possible crash sights. As fast as the police are out here, that should have been plenty of time to evacuate the possible sites in case of a derailment. The local politicians are really fumming right now. This isn't the first time California authorities were not warned by an industry experiencing a major calamity - until it was too late. It happens a lot in the petrochemical plants near where I live in the Bay Area. It raises a big stink here too. (no pun intended) A few years back, an SP pota***rain got away from them in on Cahon Pass. Over an hour later, it went off the tracks at the bottom of the grade, straight into a sleeping neighborhood. No police ever got a warning call then either - lots of dead people. One would think they could do better - go figure. May all your poles be smooth - - Old Pole Burner -
