Uhm....That's like; if Ashten Kutcher had a twin brother....
The comedy is good. Well thought out. And, I realize that two people with these smarts would be able to afford a home like that but, if they really were that dumb and had that yard.....I'd be pissed.

This vid was linked to me. I'm on the fence with this: 1. Awesome moves. Even though I can do all of those - except the trailer slide (I haven't thought to try it, so maybe I can... ;D ) 2. That poor Volvo.....  |

Does it say where that was farti1? I've been to jobs like that. I don't think I was at that 1 but a train derailment in Kentucky about 2 or 3 years ago was real bad.
A derailment is usually thought about to be a disaster but it isn't always. Often the train wheels come off track on 1 car but the train itself is ok they just have to change a wheel and guide it back onto the track. Sometimes not even change the wheel depends how bad it is.
It can damage the track sometimes that becomes a factor is to replace parts of track damaged by an off cocked wheel.
This is a real bad trainwreck though. The cars were blown down that's going to make for a bad mess hopefully no people were in the cars when they got blown down but they're going to just about shatter falling over at that rate of speed. They're uncopuled abruptly from the train itself which means the engine is locking up its breaks and the cars after the 1s knocked starboard are going to continue at that speed until they rearend the train.
Then we find out what more damage there is and hopefully no injuries but there's no safe place. You bail you stay on board or whatever you just have to hope not to get killed if that happens. Strap yourself in somewhere if there's time that's all I can suggest.

Hey, Phil.
Lately CSX has been re-stoning our traffic crossings and they have these big machines that look like they're brushing stones off to the sides.
What's the point of brushing the stones away if they're there to fill in for rotting wood?

That would be Union Pacific's territory. But if the problem is big enough and they need manpower they could call for assistance and we can be sent out. It all really falls under national regulation. So it could have been possible if Union Pacific ran short on man power in that area our guys could be sent to assist.

What's the point of brushing the stones away if they're there to fill in for rotting wood? I wish I can tell you that there's a reason that makes sense but there's not always. They may feel that the stones are built up enough to cause interference with the trains wheels. Not that the train wouldn't crush the rocks to bits but the grain of them does make for some pitting in the metal track and wheels of the train. They could be moving it aside but keeping it where they have the option of using it as filler. Othertimes they just go t a crossing there's nothing really wrong so the rake it up nice so they can prove they're maintaining it and it looks good for them. It is a waste of time and manpower but it's done that way sometimes. |

Classic sent me this. I remember Ox Baker he was 1 of the all time mean guys in wrestling. 'I'm not here to teach people to wrestle, if he had said he wants to be mean and slap his mother I'd have shown him something.'
