no seriously, they are caused by the trains. Not always, but a lot of the time.
lots of small fires along a long area...like set off from something sparking as it
goes by.

Re: rear disk brakes
I see the sparks, down here is Southern California, the Rail Road
must use tons of weed killer as there's nothing within fifty feet of the
tracks, and they're usually running in a ditch. each Summer we fight the
clogged, breaking apart catalytic convert starting fires along out
roads. we throw them in jail as if they knew what they were doing.
