Just got back from trip to lhs, and stopped at Galt. 4 large and 1 huge crane working the sight. Pieces of new bridge are already on semis on the road alongside. Talked in great length with UP sup. leaving the scene. He was very hospitable (wow) and he said the following; (in a nutshell) <br />1. There are still 15 cars in the ravine <br />2. They had 11 EB trains stacked back to Clinton this AM <br />3. EB andWB is boyh moving thru the shoo-fly <br />4. No,you can't get close enough for decent pics <br />5. Now BN is pissed cause they've screwed up their schedules <br />6. The cost witheverything was probably going to have a 1 with a bunch of zeroes <br /> <br />My thoughts: The scene was utter chaos, there was still 75 white trucks parked a mile alongside the road, every grain hauler for 50 miles was lined up with their trucks. And with all the diversions and controlling the EB and WB there is some controlling manager doing his best Lloyd Bridges impression "I guess I picked a bad week to quit (fill in the blank-smoking/drinking/drugs) [(-D]
