Union Pacific has posted photos to its Facebook, Twitter, and other social media accounts showing a firefighting train at work on the bridge at the famous Keddie Wye on its ex-Western Pacific Feather River Canyon route, with the message: “Thanks to our crews on our fire trains, working tirelessly to help control fires in northern California, such as near Keddie, Calif.” The UP route remains under threat from the Dixie Fire, which has merged with another wildfire and is approaching 200,000 acres burned — an area of over 300 square miles. The Associated Press reports the the fire has destroyed more than a dozen structures and some 10,000 homes are under threat.
