Wes & Bill,

I have a question. The railroad runs about 3/4ths of a mile from my house and every once in a while I will hear a train go by with a wheel bearing screaming so loud that you can hear it all the way up into the canyons. Now I know from my uncle that used to work on the railroad that they can seize and cause problems. But the nearest rail yards that I am aware of are in Roseville, several miles South of here and I am not sure if there is one this side of Portland or not. So what happens if one of those bearings does seize while out in the canyons?

Ron
