Ha ha ha ha…

Man, I thought the Flat Earth folks had too much time on their hands.!

Ya dont think the fence is set up to keep people out of the employee parking lot, ya know, where all the cars are parked, just waiting to be broken into?

Or that the fencing was built at different times, over several years as the need arose.

Glad to hear Beech Grove is in such a nice part of town, and that there is nothing there to steal.

After all, down here, we put our railyards smack dab in the middle of the high dollar neighborhoods!

Ya dont think Amtrak bought the USAF switcher on the cheap, to use as a shop goat, huh?

Oh, and big surprise, there are straight section of railroad track there too...near warehouses...which makes no sense...they should be blocks away from the warehouses, that way, employees can get their daily excersise carrying the parts from the boxcars to the warehouse.

 

God, I love it when tight wound mentaly ill people get too much crack....

The video is of Amtrak's Beech Grove (Indiana) shop.  It is clearly visable from streets on all sides of the property, including a busy main street on the west side of the property.  If there is anything other than passenger car rebuilding going on there, Amtrak must employ deaf and blind tradesmen to do the work.

 

Yeah, after I made my post I thought of the black helicopter...   if that place really was all spooky and bad with Men in Black, 30 seconds aftet the nasty black helicpoter buzzed them they would have had people in jackets with 3 letters on the back all over them and that tape, never woudl have made it out.

Guess I need to turn on a light and stop drinking the cold coffee...

Yea you're right it kinda makes me wonder too...

That building! It looks suspiciously like Walther's Vulcan Manufacturing kit! HAHA!

Come on turning an Amtrak service center (that is still in use) into a concentration camp? Well that's one way to make rail service profitable, slave labor.

No wonder there's a USAF switcher there, it's a lot cheaper to re-allowcate it to Amtrak than for the carrier to buy a new one.

Now how about we leave the Twilight Zone stuff for other forums and talk some trains eh?

Come on mates
Cheers!

Well, I didn't know Beach Grove closed in 1993, oh yeah thats right, it didn't. In fact its still the major Amtrak repair center, so no wonder the goverment invested millions into updating it, if only they spent some more!

Also, why would Amtrak's largest repair complex be surrounded by fences and video camras? I can't think of any reason. It couldn't be so they could keep out tresspassers or anybody whom might do damage to the trains. No, that can't be it!

But hey, the video did make a point, why surround a place with fence if there is nothing worth stealing. I mean really, whats in Beach Groove, just millions in parts, repair equiment and all sorts of things railfans with sticky figers would like.

This is some great stuff you found here troll....

This sounds like what I heard on Coast To Coast am with George Noory or Art Bell.

It has to do with the upcoming One-World-Government.

The 3 fences layers deep??? Red Blue Green Zones?? kinda makes ya wonder...large gas furnances...yeah right?

37. Rex-84 exercise, which was conducted in the spring of 1984. Rex-84 was essentially a secret training operation jointly run by FEMA and the Department of Defense to train 34 federal agencies on how to deal with domestic civil unrest. Some of the more notable agencies that were a part of Rex-84 included the CIA and the Secret Service.

The training program anticipated civil disturbances, demonstrations and strikes that would hinder continuity of the government. To counter these disturbances, the military would be authorized to move groups of people, arrest segments of the population and impose martial law to regain continuity of government.

The exercise envisioned at least 100,000 U.S. citizens, identified as national security threats, being rounded up and thrown into ìcontainmentî (or concentration) camps for unspecified periods.
