<b>"Hiatt played his own part in the pollution, a fact he readily admits. Before moving to Spokane a decade ago, he worked for BNSF and once obeyed a foreman's orders to drain a full tank of diesel from a locomotive – about 3,600 gallons – onto bare dirt. The tank needed to be welded, the foreman told him."</b> <br /> <br />Wow, that is some pretty amazing reading! And that part is just incredible! I would really hope this is not a common practice on a Class 1 railroad. <br /> <br />So, would anyone care to speculate how many other refueling sites are quietly draining there toxic contents into an unsuspecting communities' water supply while a politician pads his/her pockets? And not just one particular railroad's sites, and not just rail related sites either. <br /> <br />This is not good news. [B)]
