Washington Boosting Inspections Of Railroad Tracks, Trains

(Seattle, WA)  --  Crews from Washington's Utilities and Transportation Commission and Federal Railroad Administration are taking a hard look at trains and BNSF Railway tracks on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge this week.  This follows last week's derailment of a loaded oil train and a resulting spill and fire on the Union Pacific Railroad on the Oregon side of the gorge.  KING TV says Washington is still short of railroad inspectors, but the legislature has authorized more.
