I thought Bridger was on the MRL but its a BNSF train that derailed 15 cars and 31K gallons of gasoline spilt. Last day of MIR.

One person thought where the derailment was it might have been weakened by recent floods. Some repairs needed missed

during MIR.

That's one of my old runs. Probably made that one more than any others.  Bridger is at the bottom of a 20 mile hill of about .8%. Engineer would of been making the dynamic to power transition. The Clark's Fork river runs very close to the tracks in 2-3 places near Bridger so water damage is a possibility. MRL starts at Laurel yard limit sign on this line.

I thought MRL had been assimilated by wholly owned unit of Berkshire-Hathaway, Inc.

 They have but it's not fully transitioned...implementing agreements are being ironed out now.
