All I can say is

WHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTT!!

Three wrecks in a row and 2 on one day! What's wrong with them? Any newspapers have it on their websites yet?

Speaking of the wrecks, they mentioned the one in Louisville very briefly on ABC's World News Tonight this evening. It wasn't very much, but at least it made the news. I think CSX needs to be penalized or something. Wreck once, warning. Wreck twice, a ticket. Wreck the third time and YOU ARE IN TROUBLE! Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg] Seriously, though, have any "chain-reactions" of wrecks on just one railroad happened like this before?

Long live the BNSF .... AND its paint scheme. SchemerBob
