Even if these fires don't make a direct hit on railroad property, the loss of vegetation on hillsides above the track(s) could result in major mudslides during the state's next round of winter/spring rains. Three-month forecast calls for below average precip and above average temps for the Southwest, so maybe they'll dodge the mudslide bullet. And the fires may keep coming...
