MUKILTEO, Wash. (AP) - Two more mudslides hit Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks near Mukilteo Thursday night, following one Thursday morning.
Spokesman Gus Melonas (mel-OWN’-us) says crews quickly cleared the debris so freight trains can continue to roll. But Amtrak and Sounder passenger trains will have to observe a 48-hour safety moratorium until 10:40 p.m. Saturday.
Melonas says nine mudslides have blocked tracks north of Seattle this rainy season, compared to 60 last season on the stretch along Puget Sound under a bluff.
