You found me out !!.. Been dealing with this since 810am ct. When I left work, the NTSB team was going to be on site about 800pm pt. The unaffected equipment could be moved but no wrecking operations were to be attempted until they had viewed the site and taken their measurements.

There is minimal track damage so once the wrecking starts it should not be long to open. Those cars will not be rerailed - likely cleared to right of way and then trucked out..

Hulcher Emergency Services divisions out of Colton and Stockton are on site waiting for the go-ahead to start wrecking.

You have had your problems this month -- the Santa Barbara and Mohave subs and the washout in Cottonwood Wash near Caliente, Nevada. Maybe I should buy stock in Hulcher.

Last weekend read the lengthy article in this month's "Trains" -- it's just one thing after another with UP, but the article ended on a postive note -- you're hiring and addressing capacity problems though it will take some time.
