Most of the photo from their FB page were mine that I allowed them to use. The aerial ones are from their truck on scene.

How long was the BNSF main shut down? Was there damage to track or ties?
I think it was open that evening. No track damage.
Tough conditions fighting that fire, freezing and all. They ever determine a cause?
I hear either grain dust, or a spark from a New Year's firework.
Weird how grain can combust. I remember the big Timco silos in Tacoma had the same situation.
