Train derailment in Fresno, CA

Posted by BNSF_GP60M on Tuesday, June 19, 2007 8:09 PM

This is about a derailment in Fresno. Amtrak times are off by two hours as Amtrak sets up a bus bridge from Fresno to Merced. This is on BNSF Railway's Stockton sub.

It appears that two cars lost a truck each. Everything stayed upright. I would guess that the train is a BARPAS.

Not here with the "San Joaquins". They have a 97% on time record. So when Amtrak is late, something is wrong.

and we are east of Mini, so we are always at the minimum 2 hours late - but that means I might get to see it come through town on weekends! Nice trade-off....
