I heard there was a light rail accident tonight at Folsom Blovd and Natoma tonight. The police department said that as a result there may not be service East of sunrise tomorrow. Anyone know what happened?

That is HONOR, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it. -Author unknown-

It was on the news last night.  A semi truck knocked down one of the crossing arms at folsom blvd and natoma st.  they didn't expect to have it fixed until later today.  from the pictures on the news it looks like some pinhead truck driver took the corner too close.

....where, of course, the truck should never have been, as Natoma Street is not a truck route. Perhaps we'll get a little more commercial enforcement on Natoma as a result.
