Fire impacts Coast Starlight (6/29/21)

[Oreius]

According to Amtrak, #11 was almost 4 hours late getting into LA yesterday due to mechanical issues and freight train interference near the Mount Shasta area. I’m keeping an eye on this train’s daily progress in preparation for my mid-September trip.

Yeah, apparently a freight stringlined on the Cantara Loop. No pesticide dumped in the Sacramento River this time, though.

I thought after the pesticide business UP had to assemble their trains differently (locomotives not all in front) in order to prevent this??
