Yep - was on the AM talking head show. Looks real expensive to me!

Yup, looks real expensive for sure. And after all these teain derailments, they somehow still figure its safer to ship oil by train rather then pipeline...

I want one for my office. The train crew will be entombed in one if there was any drugs or alcohol in their system. Bad day in Blackrock if you're railroad is insured by your insurance company.

It goes by one of our old houses in Montucky. We used to watch fuselages go by frequently from the back yard. There seemed to be a lot of derailments on that stretch of rails,and this is not the first with fuselages.

Other accidents involved wind turbine blades (they switched to trucks after that one), methyl mercaptan (natural gas odorant, holy cow, and right by the house, two of those incidents), a few cars of BMW's, a load of ammonia (yeah,it was bad), oil, and some others. All within about 2 to 2.5 years.

We will never live near a busy rail line again.

Keep in mind that when the engines go off the rails, the fuel tanks, which are slung underneath the engines, get opened like a tuna can right away. Tens of thousands of gallons of fuel are sometimes at risk.

Hey, at least it wasn't salt water..... Those fuselages will clean right up....except for the minor dings of course.

And our El Presidente holds up a pipeline cause it's an election year.....er......because pipelines are dangerous. They derail often, I hear.

Think about this one in a year or two when you climb aboard that brand new 737.

MTV

I'v seen fuselages and wind turbine blades on rail going though Plains, MT
