The sounds of traffic and airplanes have quieted across much of Los Angeles County and California as health orders keep people indoors.
Russ Abbott, a locomotive engineer, drives the 3800 horsepower BNSF locomotive at the transit hub for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway in La Mirada, Calif.“It was really fast,” he said, describing the lack of traffic on the roads. “That was different. That’s because railroads carry essential items during this pandemic, including frozen meat and vegetable oil, and chemicals such as chlorine bleach and sand for fracking. Abbott bears witness to this supply chain on his workdays, soaking in theof train wheels, carrying thousands of tons of supplies, as they roll over the joints and squats of the rail line.
And while Abbott enjoys moving the trains back and forth among the suppliers and distributors in the county, it’s the Cajon Pass he relishes. Employees now mostly enter information and data via iPads outside, so they don’t have to congregate in the office; trains are wiped down between shifts; and operators and other employees wear masks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Choo, Choo!
It's a shame Treasonous Trump offers no protections to the supply chain industry. Germany, France, Canada, and Mexico have done this. Our president's lack of public policy experience is costing lives and businesses
