I am always interested in hearing about railroading over seas, in Mexico and Canada. From being the US.

Last I heard there were a bunch of earthquakes over there. Anyone have anything they can post, about how the lines were affected if so?

What I mean.. is how the clean up projects in these areas are going...

Or anything other international... I am looking forward to reading the posts. .

Not sure where you are writing to. Southern Cal had a recent quake near Big Bear Lake but it was not that close to the rail operations. Did not hear of any damage to rail lines.
