Union Pacific Railroad intends to operate trains near the unstable Centennial Mills warehouse in Portland, a move the city has cautioned against. City officials warn that resuming train traffic could lead to the collapse of the already compromised structure.
The Centennial Mills building is described as crumbling and burned-out. Search dogs have indicated the presence of human remains within the rubble, and officials state there is a high likelihood of finding them.
Portland authorities have issued a demolition deadline for the warehouse, emphasizing that a collapse from train vibrations "could result in death." This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
