MSNBC says 11 cars with pesticide are on the ground. [:(][:(]
AP report in San Diego Union included the following:
The train, en route from Colton to Roseville in Northern California, consisted of five locomotives and 79 cars and had three crew members onboard, said Mark Davis, a spokesman for Union Pacific Railroad.
Two cars contained chlorine, three contained a flammable liquid, a car carried a fuel additive and another car carried pellets used in plastic mold injections, Davis said. Six of the 13 derailed cars were empty.
Hopefully none of the cars burst as some of that material is not pretty if it gets into the air. [:o)][:p]

Other parts of the article said nothing leaked, although they evacuated an adjacent mobile home park for a while, finally letting some back in but not the closest as cleanup continued.
I wonder if it occurred on the big curve by Duffy St where the runaway in the late 80s derailed. [:o)][:p]

The Trains news wire says Slover Siding, which I take to be north out of West Colton, putting it probably now on the west end of Berdoo. There is a picture of the siding on a great page I found Googling “Slover Siding” with some nifty SP shots relative to Cajon Pass.

What a pleasant diversion that surfing turned up.
Slover is right out of W Colton just past the wye that diverges from the loop (east of pepper st overpass). In other words its just north of the I-10 bridge.
Pretty good stuff. Far better then derailment pix for sure! I agree that it was worth the surf also. [:o)][:I]

My local paper (Daily Breeze) ran a photo the other day but I could not locate it. It showed the cars scattered in a zig-zag pattern but they remained on the right-of-way.
