2\ the latest rains has slide now

All traffic is subject to one-way convoys at the spots the state is repairing. If truckers can catch a cqnvoy at the right time, they can make pretty fair time down to the Bay area. On January 20 they were figuring about l0 hours for the trip.

The California Highway Patrol believes No. 101 will be kept open (barring any further downpours like the last two) but fresh rains and existing ground conditions will keep equipment working for some rveeks yet. It will be some time before the state can return Highway 101 to a semblance of normal. A few truckers are still hauling by way of Grants Pass, Ore., and down 99W at this writing. Tarpaulins over lumber loads are a must on 101 because of the mud on the road. Otherwise, lumber would become coated with mud on the trip down.

Railroad Repair Retarded

The Northwestern Pacific R.R. revised its track-reopening estimate from February 1 to 6, following the heavy mid-January rains. However, they stated January 20 that a work train would pass over the repaired Scotia Bluff trestle on Sunday, January 22, and they were hopeful of openihg the line sometime during the first week of February . barring further rain. Morrison-Knudsen Co. had to pull its work crews off a job at Scotia two days (January 15-15) because of more high waters.
