 Train trestle fire
I'm from Jackson ms and we have an amtrack station here so they reported on the fire just outside of New Orleans. Any of y'all work for the train companies down there? Just curious as to how long the repair on something like that would take. The fire looked pretty extensive and it's likely the entire trestle will have to be rebuilt.

 Re: Train trestle fire
Damn.... I love riding the train down.. Looks like it will be months, maybe even years before I get to do that again.
