Talk of the Point

Baggage car derailed

Tomorrow morning a Union Pacific baggage car, already sitting on a truck trailer, was scheduled to ease past the Plunge and through the tunnel and down to the Golden State Model Railroad Museum–that is, it was until today.

Someone–museum secretary John Edginton is not sure whether it was PG&E or the crane operator–announced at a meeting this afternoon that the operation required another three feet of clearance past the power line that feeds Brickyard Cove.

This could be an insurmountable problem. “We’re very disappointed,” says Edginton. They’re looking for a solution.
