Dan [8D] <br /> <br />Glad to see you are back to your normal self. [:)] <br /> <br />I used to be a volunteer fireman myself. I wondered many times about such equipment in my area. Many times the railroad tracks are a good distance from the road and sometimes there is no road. One VERY important thing about fighting a train fire (or any fire) is knowing WHAT is inside that tank car or box car. Firemen have been killed by gases that are heavier than air and have settled in a low spot, then along comes a truck or car and guess what? BOOM. Also fertilizers (some react with water) can also explode. But I think the idea is a good one and have wondered about it too. It might have been useful in your area these past few weeks.
