El riesgo de ca\u00edda de rocas, deslizamientos de tierra o inundaciones es real, lo que llev\u00f3 a los senadores a enviar una carta a BNSF.<\/p>\n<p>La carta quiere que el ferrocarril posponga el movimiento de petr\u00f3leo y materiales peligrosos a trav\u00e9s del desfiladero hasta que el incendio de Eagle Creek est\u00e9 completamente contenido.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLos deslizamientos de tierra siempre son un riesgo a trav\u00e9s del desfiladero del r\u00edo Columbia\u201d, dijo Traci Weaver, oficial de informaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica del Eagle Creek Fire. \u201cNuestras condiciones hoy son mucho m\u00e1s diferentes hoy que hace una semana, ciertamente hace 2 semanas, hace 3 semanas, cuando comenz\u00f3 este incendio. Ya no estamos viendo lluvias de brasas. Tenemos buenas l\u00edneas continuas, 46% del fuego est\u00e1 contenido\u201d.<\/p>\n<div data-view=\"gallery\">\n<div>\n<p>El equipo de gesti\u00f3n de incidentes dijo que ha estado en comunicaci\u00f3n regular con los ferrocarriles y cree que el riesgo es bajo en este momento.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cNo tenemos un incendio furioso en este momento\u201d, dijo Weaver. \u201cTenemos algunos troncos que est\u00e1n quemando semillas. No vemos las brasas encendidas donde el fuego hizo esos grandes empujones\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>BNSF pasa por Gorge en el lado de Washington y Union Pacific en el lado de Oregon.<\/p>\n<p>Gus Melonas con BNSF le dijo a KOIN 6 News por correo electr\u00f3nico:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCon la amenaza inicial del incendio Archer en el lado de Washington del r\u00edo Columbia, BNSF cerr\u00f3 la operaci\u00f3n de la l\u00ednea principal del r\u00edo Col a TODOS LOS TRENES en el \u00e1rea y, despu\u00e9s de inspecciones minuciosas, determin\u00f3 que era seguro operar varias horas despu\u00e9s. Estuvimos en contacto con las agencias involucradas. Los incendios no representan una amenaza actual y continuaremos operando bajo los est\u00e1ndares federales y de BNSF.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSi las situaciones amenazan el movimiento seguro de cualquier tipo de tren de pasajeros o de carga, BNSF tomar\u00e1 las medidas necesarias para proteger a nuestros empleados ferroviarios, pasajeros y p\u00fablico\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>La oficina de Wyden dijo que Union Pacific, a partir de la semana pasada, acord\u00f3 detener el transporte de petroleros.<\/p>\n<p>En un comunicado, Justin E. Jacobs, Director de Relaciones Corporativas y Medios de Union Pacific, dijo:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDesde el principio, Union Pacific trabaj\u00f3 y coordin\u00f3 con el comando de incidentes de Eagle Creek Fire, el Departamento de Transporte de Oreg\u00f3n, el Jefe de Bomberos del Estado de Oreg\u00f3n y otras agencias estatales, con respecto a las operaciones ferroviarias a trav\u00e9s de Columbia River Gorge. Las operaciones ferroviarias normales se reanudaron cuando se reabri\u00f3 la Interestatal 84. Continuaremos comunic\u00e1ndonos con el comando de incidentes y las agencias estatales en el futuro\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>El riesgo de explosiones catastr\u00f3ficas es demasiado real para quienes viven alrededor del desfiladero. En junio de 2016, un tren petrolero de Union Pacific descarril\u00f3 y 16 camiones cisterna derramaron 42 000 galones de petr\u00f3leo cerca de Mosier.<\/p>\n<p>Es por eso que Wyden y Merkley quieren que BNSF deje de transportar petr\u00f3leo en el lado de Washington mientras arde el incendio de Eagle Creek.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HOOD RIVER, Ore.
