[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Nora</i> <br /><br />Can someone tell me if it is normal for sparks to be falling from underneath a train car? We saw a train maybe an hour and a half ago that had one car from which sparks were showering down as it went along. I've never seen that before. I was a little worried about it, but of course there was nothing I could do about it. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Hi Nora, many railroads have 1-800 numbers to call for emergencies. Unfortunately when you are operating under duress such numbers can be hard to find. I suggest when you have the time to find such numbers that you write them down and next time you will know what to do and who to call and will be able to find these numbers quickly. <br /> <br />Railcars can carry some pretty nasty stuff so reporting a sighting, such as you saw, might even save lives. In an emergency you might even call 911 surely they have emergency numbers to the local railroads.
