Trouble between SBA & SLO today?
Author: ExStarlightHog

Looks like 14 took about a 2 and a half hour hit today.  Glad I'm not waiting for it up the line.

Issues on the bridge at MP258 in Price Canyon. Track crew was called to inspect. 790 and 11 were held in SLO, 14 was held at Callendar. 11 and 790 were walked over the bridge.

It was always reassuring to have bridge problems.  I never liked having to flag over the Pajaro River bridge on the coast around MP92 I believe.  It had "P" signals on each end because of the Earthquake detector attached to it.  The head brakeman would walk across the bridge and then signal me to come ahead with my multiple 205 ton SD units.  Night time was the worst.  How could the brakeman inspect the bridge in pitch blackness?

Thats how some carriers tested their bridges. Shunt the TC so train would have to flag across. If it made it, good for another year. :) :)   The bridge at Narlon moves quite a bit.

Is this the little bridge or the big one over Pismo Creek?
