Our neighbor Jamie works for CalTrain and has been supportive all along of our caboose
project. Jamie and Alice own the house in the background of this photo WP668 being lifted on
12 May 2007:
Jamie has been particularly interested in our discussions with the City of San Jose on how
to be sure WP668 will not move during an earthquake (it is his house the
caboose would roll into). As John was building the new fence on Sunday, Jamie
mentioned that WP668 had already been through its
first earthquake, a 3.4 magnitude temblor centered about 6 miles from our house.
Nobody else noticed the quake so the inaugural shaking passed without much comment.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS)
has a
Map for San Francisco on which it plots local earthquakes as they happen. It looks like
there have been four in our immediate area in the last week, the biggest being the 3.4
magnitude quake last Sunday.
