breather, 26.04.2009 00:11
high fives, smoking the stogies, cheers around the offices of the R/R workers!
way to go..."we showed those earth loving lovers!" -- oh by the way...message to the sprayers...your kids go to the schools on walker and breath the same air as people who actually care about the Earth...
the ones in power....are laughing at the stupids here in Ashland today!
one of our community members actually had to stop for the giant 5 ton flat bed truck, with large plastic 5000 gallon tank and 50 gallon drums...who was nice enough to turn off the industrial strength chemical spray as he drove his poison carrying truck across the road...at the R/R crossing on Walker...near Science works....at around 12:30pm today...
I only took two pictures of the white residue, that was actually sprayed on the tracks...and dripping down them
I am hoping more pictures and or video were taken...please post all!
come on ashland, wake up and smell the poison!!!!
they know that the time for industrial petrochemical distillates are soon going to be a thing of the past...so, they are forced to use all they can as fast as they can and choosing Earthday to spray, again Ashland, wake up...
this should be the last time...we hope! Ashland needs to adopt a no spray city ordinance...

Railroad 27.04.2009 - 22:21 Southern Pacific hasn't existed since 1996. When did this happen? In 1996 the SP was taken over by Union Pacific. Also, the track through Ashland (the Siskiyou line) was bought by the Central Oregon & Pacific in 1994, so they'd be the ones responsible. It was probably weed killer of some kind. Central Oregon & Pacific is part of a company called RailAmerica. You can reach RailAmerica at 800-342-1131. Jim>  e-mail:: jrmaurer@pacbell.net

Weed sprayer 11.05.2009 - 15:17 I used to walk the tracks in Ashland. One day I when I was at the train show at the Medford Armory (every Thanksgiving weekend), I asked the local manager of railroad who had a railroad safety booth there, what was in that spray tank that came down the tracks every spring. He was quite courteous and told me it was a salt-based weedkiller, not a petroleum-based weedkiller, that meets state and federal regulations for no injury to wildlife. You should call the railroad in Medford and politely ask about it and then remove your previous story that reads like naive outrage. HikingPrem HikingPrem> e-mail:: hikingprem@yahoo.com
