About a week ago UP had an issue with a wheel breaking down and had a 34 car derailment just north of Fossil Butte. Lucky it was only corn so no environmental issues per say, Union Pacific has been really great at the clean up, and might I add, it was quite a site and not something you see every day, and NO injury's, just a little more than a mile of track to be replaced, they had the tracks cleared and trains running within 36 hours...WOW!!
Derailed cars corn dumped on BLM land off the Right of way
replacing the tracks
The wheels are huge!!
Gunny could hear a ground squirrel but couldn't get to it.....He wouldn't have known what to do with it if he would have caught it.
Last Saturday Dan kept getting a bloody nose, 11 bleeds in less than 24 hours, Dr Krell cauterized it, My poor Sweety ;)
Thursday Kaisa and I went out to do surface compliance inspections, she had a com site above Evanston. Such a beautiful view
The bluebells are really blooming great this year.....This is one thing I will miss when we head to NV, my field work .
Till next time!!! :-}
