Didn’t it burn once before and they had to rebuild it?

Oh no! How are the Arabs going to get their hay to port?
Post pictures , of the bridge not breakfast !I bet the Arabs sponsor having a new bridge built pretty quick. I know they have plenty of CNG powered semi trucks if needed to get to port. Going to town for breakfast and check out the fire damage.

And Double stacked at that. That rail yard out in Bouse is just non stop trucks bringing in full containers and taking out empty’s.The traffic in and out of Parker will be horrendous! I might as well stay in the Oc.
Last one I saw looked like a hundred cars in length.
They have a rail yard in Bouse. That loads double stacked containers, when they leave Bouse I don’t think they even stop in Parker.I am down in the Parker rail yard every day , I have not seen see any containers full of hay going out of their all the containers coming eastbound are empties that is what I was told by the train conductors . It's going to affect the plastic cars that I load off that is for sure now the cars staged in Rice on the rail siding are unable to come into rail yard to be unloaded .

Right past the egg farm on 72 . Everyone thinks that’s just part of the egg farm.Never seen a rail yard in Bouse. I might be getting older than I think and viagra didnt fix my vision but the beer sure as hell did. Im not near as picky when it comes to women after a few.
There might be a rail yard in Wenden, Salome or possibly in Aguila??
Bouse is in Arizona on state route 72Where is Bouse??
There's a hay operation off of 205 between Vacaville and dunnigan in Calif that now has about 8 huge metal barns storing hay. And lots of container trailers to haul it to port..
What a racket.. Arabs are using our water.
The ones I see are parked almost every weekend for couple hours are for the incoming to pass by and then they are gone by 3 am the containers are in line with empty power cars and LPG cars, I guess the conductors must be uninformed what's inside . All the springs on the cars not so compressed I presume they're empties .They have a rail yard in Bouse.

They just started about 6 to 8 months ago. I will take some pictures when I’m out there tomorrowThe one I see are parked almost every weekend for couple hours are for the incoming to pass by and then they are gone by 3 am the containers are in line with empty power cars and LPG cars, I guess the conductors must be uninformed what's inside .

Crazy somebody got the fire when it was starting.

Did this burned palm tree perhaps ignite first, then ignite the bridge timbers ? Unless the palm was burned from some previous incident ?

You're probably right but it could have been a hot train (a train with a bad/seized wheel bearing or locked up brake causing sparks to be thrown) but you would also have spot fires along the tracks in the brush.I’d go with some meth head lit it on fire. Lol
Yes , they're moved to LHC by a pneumatic bulk tanker put in about 45,000 pounds of plastic pellets a trip . Suck in blow it out !!What do you mean by "Plastic Cars" ? Plastic pellets for injection molding ?
Can you pull up next to a train car and unload or is the suck pump at the yard in Parker?View attachment 798504

Creosote RR ties are extremely toxic when they burn. Creosote is a known cancer causing carcinogen. Hope nobody was exposed to the smoke.

Pretty sure it was a parker is closed kinda commentNo effect on the vehicle bridge. Traffic is clear both directions. The new road bridge doesn't go under the RR, like the old one.
Where is Bouse??

I think that track will down for a while the AZ CA railroad doesn't have a very big track crew here . They probably will bring a crew in from back east from Genesee and Wyoming railroad, that is who owns AZ CA railroad to do the repair .Looks like the local gangs are going be working hard to get the track back in service! Don't forget to thank the Rail Road personnel when you see them up there busting ass to keep your trains moving.
100 cars? I think that's pretty small compared to the monster trains that come through Tucson. I believe I read that they are typically about 3 miles long and they typically have 3 engines in the middle along with 5 at each end. It's great when I get stuck on Colossal Cave Rd waiting for those monsters to pass.The traffic in and out of Parker will be horrendous! I might as well stay in the Oc.

Is there traffic or congestion in Rice along the 62 to work with the rail cars or is street vehicle traffic unaffected by this fire?

The blower and electric motor is mounted on front of the trailer and not pto driven, the blower it is power by a 100 hp 480 volts electric motor. At the rail yard there is 8 power poles with locked power boxes with special plugs that I use to power the system on the trailer . At the plant it has the same set up but with only two power supply boxes with plugs , so I can only load the rail cars with that type of power source by them which is set up in Parker only . The blower on the trailer will load and unload 1000 pounds a minute it's faster than a pto driven system
i call bullshit on 2 weeks.I've heard two weeks to repair, but doesn't all that heat have an effect on the steel and concrete strength?
100 cars used to be a pretty big train, probably still is for an outfit like the A&C.100 cars? I think that's pretty small compared to the monster trains that come through Tucson.
