Southwest Worker’s Union Celebrates Fixing Of Bridge

Union Pacific Agrees To Fix Bridge Damage After More Than 2 years

A celebration of sorts occurred near the site of a collision between two trains more than two years ago.

In 2004, the trains crashed, tossing more than two dozen cars off the tracks on a line between South Presa and Saint Mary’s.

In that accident, the Saint Mary’s bridge was damaged, but last week workers began to fix the bridge and the sidewalks below it.

Now, the southwest workers' union is celebrating.

They said it hasn't been an easy fight to get Union Pacific to agree to fix it, but it's a job that had to be done.

The workers' union also said it's not finished with Union Pacific.

Their ultimate goal is to get a UP train re-routed out of the city of San Antonio.
