Real-World Transport Discussion • Re: Random Transport Chatter

While it is still many months before my next rail trip, i do note that there has been a major derailment on the line i hope to travel over. this was just east of Reno NV USA. A heavy UP freight train derailed, On the good side no one was injured. Double good was no haz-mat went into the very close by Truckee River. Considering the number of damaged wagons , it was amazing how quickly the Union Pacific was in getting the line back into service. This line is used daily by the Amrak California Zephyr. Still i would rather take a train then a plane any day.
