FIrst off I HOPE and PRAY that ALL NCRY Rail people were able to escape
involvement or injury in this terrible crash.
The nearest thing I can figure out about this is the following.
This is the nearest thing I can figure out by extensive viewing of the
satellite image on Google Maps.
This should have been caused by a LOADED - DOWNHILL truck
out of the small quarry that is located just ABOVE the Brightside Yard of NCRY.
This in NO WAY involved Niles Canyon ROAD (Route 84) which is BELOW the elevation of
the Brightside Railroad yard of NCRY.
This truck could NOT POSSIBLY have been on Niles Canyon Road (CA 84) because
the NCRY Rail Yard is a much HIGHER elevation than the main road is in the area.
Hopefully this quarry can be SHUT DOWN because of this major incident !!
