I thought you were talking about Connecticut in your title.
That would be news. |

SOP for the railroads. Even minor earthquakes sometimes
touch off landslides and rockfalls, track/structure
misalignments, etc. Better safe with a busted schedule
than sorry with an entire train on the ground instead
of the rails.

Yes, but look at a map. Bridgeport and the Valley Sub have
a big mountain range between them. I doubt there's much of
a rock slide danger on that line either.

When the inspection order started there wasn't much of a locality
yet. Only a report of a quake. The Dispatch center for the Valley sub
is in Riverside, Calif. They may have felt the quake themselves. OTOH
Omaha didn't even blink.
BTW the UP is running a training lash up of the Rotories on Donner.
The last Qualified engineer to operate the Rotories in a the Area is
close to retirement, and was talking about leaving this summer or
fall.
I know someone is video taping the run this week/weekend with snow
predicted above 7,000 feet.
This is the 1st time in years the rotory snow plows have been used.
it may be years before they are needed again. This is a rare site...

The whistles are steam, and there is a steam generator to heat the
blades...
