Hi, Just for the record, Mr. Madrone is the former head of the Natural Resources division of the Redwood Community Action Agency in Humboldt County. Look up information about Humboldt's "restoration economy" if you're really interested in being fair about this issue. The rail line through the Eel Canyon has been oblitherated by huge slides innumerable times in the past (one of the most unstable geologies in a state known for it's instability), train cars are still in the river (Boxcar Rapids), and the Eel is known for it's huge floods during "rain on snow" events. Anyone remember when a train carrying chemicals derailed into the upper Sacramento and poisoned 50 miles of river?
