LOS ANGELES -- Train service resumed Sunday morning after Amtrak
officials determined that a wooden railroad trestle damaged by a
fire Saturday remained structurally sound, the Los Angeles Times
reports.
Only the surface of the trestle was burned, and the
rail and the pile holding the bridge were in good condition,
spokeswoman Liz O'Donoghue said. She said damaged railroad ties will
be repaired or replaced in the next few weeks.
The blaze
started as a grass fire near Interstate 5, then spread to the
trestle, said Daniel Calderon, dispatch supervisor for the city Fire
Department.
