One well known NorCal Railfan has reported on his Facebook thread that the west switch at Floka was taken out. Closer to MP 479. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/06/13 13:54 by Yarddogh. Date: 01/06/13 19:38 Re: Derailment at Floka NV Author: Realist ppcx032 Wrote:

There already is (and has been for years) a big hook at Portola.
