Thu Mar 15 2007 (Updated 03/26/07) Hundreds lined American River levee to watch
The train trestle was reported to be buckling from the intense heat caused by the fire. The train tracks are owned by Union Pacific and carry Amtrak service to Reno from Sacramento. Mainstream media is reporting that the fire to the train track trestle is going to create havoc on the transportation system that services the northern California central valley. Union Pacific reported to the Sac Bee that it is one of Union Pacific's main routes in the area.

Hundred's of spectators lined the flood levee along the American River parkway catching a glimpse of the fire. REI's Sacramento parking lot was quite the scene with onlookers coming and going as the fire burned. Talk radio was reporting people could see the smoke plume from 50 miles away.
