Ok buddy. Think what you want. I’m sorry you worked for a shitty railroad that trains get stuck in snow.

Why not just clear the tree? There is ample labor available and I’m assuming at least one working engine.


It’s probably made more difficult by the fact it’s in the mountains. There a couple mountain passes in that area and some incrediby beautiful terrain, but driving those roads before it’s occurred to me how much of a clusterfrick a rescue in inclement weather would be. Especially if they are around Willamette pass.

Apparently it's the frickton of snow that is holding things up. As in maintenance crews are having a difficult time getting to the problem areas. Hyrail trucks don't move through several feet of snow on the tracks. Hell, they don't like snow on the tracks period.

It's also not just one downed tree like has been posted in this thread. It was miles of downed trees blocking both the tracks and the roads to get to the train. In any case the train is in Eugene now.
