To the right of this picture, there is a row of homes, a short cul-de-sac and then 2 larger parcels, which are horse boarding ranches. The further ranch is about 600 feet from the tracks you see here.
I boarded 4 horses there before I moved in 1993 to N California. I rode across those tracks hundreds of times, going in and out of the ranch into the hills and up onto Oat Mountain trails.
This is a big mess. If riders hadn’t held the line for years to keep trails along the train tracks open, the FD and PD would have no place to work from.
My former Veternarian was in the area and came and volunteered with bandages, supplies and her vet assistant. Fireman wanted to know if she knew anything about broken bones. I am surprised she didn’t deck him. She has been a large animal vet for over 20 years.
