Western Railroad Discussion > Earth Quake OT Barstow, CaDate: 01/24/20 19:25 Earth Quake OT Barstow, Ca Author: miralomarail Per KABC LA, Ca a 4.6 size Quake happened 14 Miles NNE of Barstow, Ca at 7:03 PM tonight
Date: 01/24/20 20:06 Re: Earth Quake OT Barstow, Ca Author: PHall A 4.6 is not worth getting even remotely excited about. Rattles the dishes and that's about it.
Date: 01/24/20 20:22 Re: Earth Quake OT Barstow, Ca Author: mojaveflyer Wouldn't 14 miles NNE of Barstow be out near Afton Canyon? Could be exciting for a crew if the track shifted... Before anyone jumps on me, I grew up in the Bay Area and understand the magnitude of the earthquake.

Date: 01/24/20 21:26 Re: Earth Quake OT Barstow, Ca Author: PHall Per the BNSF System Special Instructions, magnatude 5.0 and less requires no actions to be taken.
But I'd probably be looking for rocks on the rails when going through cuts just in case. Date: 01/24/20 23:15 Re: Earth Quake OT Barstow, Ca Author: Mr-Beechcroft radar Wrote:

We had a 4.5 here several weeks ago. Epicenter was 3 miles away: lasted 59 seconds and threw a bunch of stuff on the floor. On the other hand, I was at the Amtrak 16th Street station in Oakland for the Loma Prieta in 1989--now that was exciting.

All or the majority of the damage was in the Bay area. I lived in San Jose on the south end and we were 17 miles from the epicenter. Quite the shake rattle and roll.

And the San Andreas fault doesn't go through LA. It goes through Cajon Pass out by San Bernardino. Date: 01/26/20 10:24 Re: Earth Quake OT Barstow, Ca Author: SP4360 I was in the shop at the Ventura county Railway and felt a sway and the lights had a mild swing to them. Guess that makes 2 of us.
