If they have the ability, they put in "fenders" every chance they get. (dry land equivilent = crash walls that the highway bubbas don't like when they cross railroads... They (MoDOT) were whining about that in the Mo. bootheel where the trains took out the highway bridge after the derailment at the UP/BNSF crossing frog. New Bridge has a crash-wall and no argument from MoDot and the county fathers this time..

Summer just had to get in another couple of stupid hot days.
Bob, when you retire, you can consider your biggest benefit will be train watching. Put it at the top of your bucket list - maybe 1-10?
Oh yeah - Happy Birthday. And surely someone likes Verona WI?
mudchicken Summer just had to get in another couple of stupid hot days.
We've enjoyed/suffered near record heat this summer here - but we've also spent most of the summer in near drought conditions.
It's supposed to cool off for the weekend (mid 60's) and no one is complaining.
A possible side effect of this very warm summer may be a rather severe winter. The warm weather helps heat Lake Ontario just that much more, and a warmer lake translates to more lake effect snow.
We shall see. Excuse my while I go tune up the snowblower...

Larry. Better check the woolly bears. This is the legend: The Woolly Bear caterpillar has 13 distinct segments of either rusty brown or black. The wider the rusty brown sections (or the more brown segments there are), the milder the coming winter will be. The more black there is, the more severe the winter.
