[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dontrainman These are serious times and there is genuine fear that railroads will be targeted. The days of railfanning by the tracks is gone. [/quote] I think your right Don. [:(] Sorry but I am not in fear, every day I drive my truck some 250 to 300 miles and I should be in fear of some one or something killing me on the road or off but I am not. Even when I get fliped "the bird"! Now I can see because that was a convoy train heading to Galveston, Texas to the ship yards but what puzzled me was this. Why is it sitting there full of ammo, food and trucks that carry gass? When me and the guy was speaking another train passed both trains up on the main line. But yet these two trains had not far to go to Galveston. If I remember in college that a fuel tank is MORE empty one is dangrus than full one then there was a huge people there because peoples houses was no more less than 1.5 football field long off the tracks. One night I had a call of a car stuck on the tracks code 3?!?!? (Lights and Siren? I thouhgt) So, I made my way there and yep now I can see why car was said to be on the tracks. The whole frame was sitting on the track and the drunk woman was racing home! While I had a much bigger problem I could see a Santa Fe train coming to me! Radio dispacth to alert the train to stop but just for chips and grins I pulled my car with lights going sideways so I hope they could see that to! I jerked the woman out and there was already a tow truck driver there and I told him to get it. Train stopped, guess where??? right infront of police car....the dispatchers did there job! Then the he told me what was on the train. Nuclear waste oh my God, I thought and it comes through Manvel 3 times a night! If that train would have hit that car no telling what I would have been doing.
