Interstate 5 from San Clemente to Oceanside has long been one of California's traffic choke points, with no other nearby alternative routes between Los Angeles and San Diego. So traffic delays could be significant Saturday with the U.S. military planning to fire live artillery rounds over Interstate 5 in Southern California. The freeway will be shut down temporarily Saturday afternoon along a 17-mile stretch of coastal northern San Diego County, just south of the border with Orange County.
A train driver on the S6 service from Essen noticed to his surprise on reaching the final stop at Cologne-Worringen that three passengers were still loitering in first class. The trio of chickens, who had even been provided an ample layer of straw to peck through, had seemingly either been abandoned or (surely not?) forgotten by whoever brought them aboard.
