A quote from the March issue of CTC Board, concerning the NS Graniteville wreck:

"...the National Transportation Safety Board soon suggested that terrorism or fowl play was not a factor in the open switch."

Well frost my feathers![(-D][(-D][(-D]...Trainwrecks for Fun & Profit was not involved on this one. I feel so.............vindicated.[:D]

And we see that Mookie has been talking to Lilly and Boss Hen again.[;)]

So they don't suspect chickens of opening the switch?

Nah he forgot to close the switch because he was thinking of what he was going to do with the lady in the cab that they had given a ride. [:D]
