Train Wreck

[andrew.r.w]

This happened yesterday not far from where I live. No injuries. The train cars were carrying lumber on one side and either diesel or ethanol or gasoline on the other (confilcting reports). Parallel tracks, one train derailed into the other.

My first thought was to voluteer to help with the salvage and clean-up!

Dennis, had a train park behind my house a few years ago with an open boxcar full of wine. Shame it wasn't bourbon, I don't drink wine.

Never mind the issues about environmental damage to a major river, forest fires, impacts to transport, etc.

No, he was trying to be a good Samaritan. Gotta take the wood away, so the fire burns out it's initial source (fuel).

If a truck crashed with your favorite table saw in it, would you check on the saw or the driver first??
