BNSF Gateway Sub closed due to fire

The Bald Fire located in and around the Little Valley area of NE Calif. has the BNSF Gateway Sub closed for the foreseeable future. Reportedly the fire has burned intensely throughout the Little Valley area, which has been evacuated, and as far south as Jellico. The lightning caused fire has burned over 6,000 acres.

BNSF is assisting by providing a 2-car fire train for fire suppression efforts along the right-of-way.

I haven't heard any BN detours being talked to on the UP Valley Sub radio, so BNSF may be holding trains at Stockton, Klamath, and elsewhere.

BNSF's Customer Service reps must have gone home for the weekend, as nothing is posted on the Service Advisory page about the closure.
