blownout cylinder mmmm---if it was just in a parking area then the writer could have just as easily said a "passer-by" found this thing and not have mentioned the "conductor" bit. We had a situation awhile back that was similar and there was no mention of the fellow's occupation, so?

zugmann No facts allowed. It was a conductor, he saw a fusee in the box marked "fusees", it was foggy, he was running on a clear, and freaked out. And he was too busy to wave... And he likes oreo cookies.

There was so little information. Even if I was given more, I doubt it would be shared here. Indeed it would not. I let the powers that be do that job.
Murphy Siding I don't know guys....I must be reading this differently than some others on here:Sgt. Greg Scott of the Mason City Police Department said the device, which he declined to describe, was spotted by a railroad employee about 11:50 a.m. Monday in a city parking area between the sidewalk and the street in the 600 block of Ninth Street Northwest. I sure don't see anything that says the *device* had anything to do with railroads or railroad equipment. It may even be just a coincidence, that the person who spotted it was a railroad employee. For all we know, he or she spotted it while walking or driving through the city parking area between the sidewalk and the street. I sure don't think it's an issue worth belittling the railroad employee over, especially given so little information.

He has a cistern and fields. The ground freezes too hard for pipes.

Yeah, he lives on a dirt road just off the county black top. He can pick a banjo better than most folk with five fingers.

I just have to respond:
zugmann I have found a total of ONE torpedo. Long forgotten in the box on a foreign line locomotive. Then I saw the fusees and ran away screaming. Us RRers don't know what those things are...

Hey, Zug. You forgot the smiley(s) for hysterical laughter.
As a former disaster control responder, I was told to isolate any unidentified or known explosive device, clear the area of personnel and wait for a qualified EOD team to deal with it. I also got to re-calculate the safety zone around each parking spot where a bomb-loaded F-4 might be parked (it was big, and got bigger.) If, on the other hand, I recognized it as reasonably harmless (grenade with the pin still in, or a pipe nipple without an explosive charge) I could simply remove it and turn it over to EOD when they arrived if potentially explosive, or to recycling if it was simply scrap.
So maybe the conductor saw something he didn't recognize that was actually not an immediate hazard, recognized as such by the responders. Sounds to me as if everyone involved did what they were supposed to do.
