Trainnews - volume 2 - issue 52 - 03/07/09
Notice - It is good to be back travel to and from the Pacific Islands can be an adventure. Long hours and flights full of holes. TRAINNEWS returns today and my travel schedule abates for the next month or two; therefore, TRAINNEWS should be ontime. Also note the addition of the Canadian News section.
Editor's Note - Please send newsworthy photos to trainnews@att.net, please include name, location and narrative so folks know what, where and why it is newsworthy.
This is a view of the south end of the Dunsmuir yard the morning after the New Years Eve storm in January, 1997, showing water from the Sacramento River over the top of the rails and trains tied down for several days. If I remember correctly, Interstate 5 was closed for two or three days as well.
