Southern Pacific Railroad's Roseville Yard experienced massive explosions this morning. 21 boxcars of 250 lb bombs (300 per car) and some nearby propane tank cars were involved, although 3 bomb cars were pulled away.. Twenty thousand people living in the area were evacuated after the blasts reportedly felt upto 100 miles away. There were at least 31 injuries, but no deaths. Damage was estimated at $2.25 million. Hot axle bearings may have started the fire.
