What company in California helps clean up after train derailments?

Question

I'm trying to track down someone who owes me $700 and I can't remember where he works (it's been a year since he stiffed me, the jerk!).

Answer 1

Jim Dobbas (maybe Dobas it's been a long time) in Newcastle California, about 20 miles north of Sacramento on I-80. Does a lot of contract work for the UP cleaning up scattered freight cars.

So, if I'm right, how much of the $700 are you gonna kick down this way?

Answer 2

Second EDIT Tuesday 7/24 My woodworking tools arrived Monday - no damage, all was OK. Hope the rest of you are receiving your orders, or at least getting some resolution. EDIT Monday 7/23 New info appeared on the UPS shipping report this morning. My woodworking tools are scheduled for delivery today. Hope everyone else is receiving similar information. ********************************* I live in Washington also (Olympia) and also have a UPS package delayed by the derailment. No, I do not believe we will receive a "sorry for screwing up your package" message. But our packages, or the resolution to the situation, will likely be delayed, maybe several more days. I will likely contact the company I purchased my tools from and ask them to handle the problem, after all they were the ones who shipped the package. I'm pretty sure they have responsibility until we have the goods in our hands. As another answerer pointed out, our packages may not be on the derailed train, they may be on another train delayed by the derailment. But it WAS an accident, so I'm going to be patient. Bill

I know that alot of the time, the rail road company will clean up. Like for me, I work for Union Pacific, in AZ. We never had any sice I'v been here; but if there was, maintance and repair and somone else would have to go out to where it happened. Then on top of that, like if theres oil spills and fires and things like that, the other people in other comanys would come. Like EVP or fire department.
It can be a number of people, but try the railroad comanys. I can'y see a company working jsut to fix derailments, as they dont happen often. But when it does happen, they need somone that knows what they are doing, which would be somone who works with train.
So manybe Union Pacific, BNSF, CSX; those are the main railroads in CA.
