Taking pot shots at the emergency responders is down right wrong, As a railroad emergency responder I fought bridge fires and they are almost impossible to put out once the fire gets going. Remember the bridge material is treated with a petroleum based product and you need lot's and lot's of water in that area of the CW not a lot of water, I would like to see Marc hump 500 gallons of water a minute out to the bridge and try and pu the fire out.

All these conspiracy theory ideas that the Bridge at Colfax and now the one on the CW burned due to not wanting these rail lines to remain in is BS. Rail lines stay if there is a real traffic base to support the operations without a public subsidy.
