UP Train On the Ground on Donner

At around 8:00 pm, I heard the dispatcher talking to a train that was on the
ground on Donner somewhere. It sounded like a work train with a spreader. They were ordering up
a bulldozer and a recovery crew from "Dobas" which is UPs contract company
for derailments and wrecks in this area.

Can't tell exactly where the incident is, I can only hear the dispatcher, so it
must be up pretty high on the hill.

I-80 is still closed, so don't know if CalTrans will let the UP crews and Dobas's
crews up the hill. The highway is passable, CalTrans is just holding traffic until
they can clean up the highway and remove the many disabled vehicles.
