  • What caused the fire??

  • Jose Moran-Marquez plead guilty to lying to a federal agent and was sentenced to time already served and will be deported. The US Attorney said they did not have enough evidence to charge him with setting the fire.

  • did he say why he did it?

  • He didn't say he did it. The US Attorney said they did not have enough evidence to charge him with setting the fire. They just think he was the one.

  • the words collapse zone come to mind in the beginning of the video

  • 1. Did they re build it?

    2. What they need are some of those giant trucks from an airport

    3. Bet the creasot (cant spell) was thick in the air.

  • We had a train trestle fire like this down here in georgia, it was about this extensive, completely destroyed it because it was it crossed a salt marsh on the coast so it made it pretty difficult to put out

  • I would have let it burn it's self out

  • @JRCollinsfan hmmmm... actually, an ARFF truck would be great for this, they can cove exposed fires well

  • This bridge must be rebuilt once hell because he is destroyed by fire.

  • Excellent illustration of the risks of burning creosoted wood; it burns fast and tends to light its own that way, too. :-S Which railroad owned this trestle; and did they put up a steel and concrete replacement for it?

  • Dude you really did get food footage of this that day.!

  • ... it's a loss.

    just let it burn and not

    re-ignite the portions extinguished.

    To get that goin as hot as it was(fully)

    takes some skill-

    at least 4-5 sepreated & well-fueled &

    relatively long-burning initial fires...

    once the creosote begins to burn it's... on!

    so... who around there is pissed with the RR?

  • THis had to have the NIMBY's in Cali just FURIOUS that the icky railroad polluted their air!

  • 'Great balls of fire'

  • Watching this video made me very angry, i dunno why. Maybe the fire represents the auto+oil industries attempts to thwart pax rail transportation expanding to the level it used to be, and the trestle represents our fragile and overworked rail infrastructure. Hope the guy who did it gets to break rocks in a jail yard for the rest of his life!
