One news article mentioned that one of the plant chimneys had come down. Most stories concentrated on the town (logically - there's people there), though they mentioned that it's hard to see what was earthquake damage and what was just abandonment - a lot of houses have been abandoned for a long time.
Also saw, this morning, a couple of pictures of the Trona RR (in a form that can't be easily reproduced or linked): it has the expected kinks (about a meter of right lateral displacement) where the fault crosses it, and damage that appears to be due to liquefaction (also expected, since a lot of the RR is actually on old lake beds). All repairable, if the plant comes back up at some point. Probably needs to be repaired, anyway, to extract all the cars that are stored out there, even if the plant is abandoned and the place becomes a true ghost town.
