Interesting I saw no "cause" of derailment anywhere in that article.
I used to live about 10 miles north of this area and my very best friend lives much closer to Amsterdam.
Spoke to her this morning and she didn't really know anymore than what has been reported. The cause is just said to be "under investigation". The area it happened in, as I recall, was kind of a warehouse small factory type area. Fownes Leathers had their warehouse there, which is the only way I know, they had super bargains on all the name brand leather goods they produced!
She's under orders to call me if she hears anything! I'll let you all know if she does.
And, that standoff and supposed suicide over by UCSD last weekend, hasn't been a peep about it in the news. That North County Times article is the only one in the area that I have seen any information in. I find this odd. There is always the possibility that I could have missed it in the Union Tribune but I really don't think so. Heck, I even read the little tiny police reports from all the towns in the area so I'm really sure I would have seen something about it. I'll keep watching and looking though.
sigh.. pardon the severe grammatical errors.. it is one of those days!
