Smoker on wheels

Springfield, TN (Smokey Barn News) – A boxcar containing straw, pork and metal racks ignited as a train was making its way through Springfield Tuesday afternoon.

  1. A fire story from the Smokey Barn News seems apropo. And maybe a possible tactic because until things get worse the city dwelling Dems are not going to correct their ideals and beliefs. Those Trump caravans should reform into rolling freeway slowdowns to impede goods arriving into the cities.

  3. It's not a boxcar.
    Does one have to prove they are an illiterate ignoramus to become a journalist these days? Sure seems like it.

  4. As can generally be expected from Smokey Barn, they got it wrong. The editor is an idiot, as anyone knows who's read it for more than a month or two.
    It's a flatcar with multimodal containers.
    Don't ever expect much from the Smoky Outhouse. Unfortunately, they're Robertson county folks. My 'neighbors'.

  5. I grew-up on a farm in the mountains east of Sacramento.
    1960s, us kids parked in the field (now the middle of Interstate 80) to watch the bright-red wheels on poorly-braked trains coming down from the Sierra Nevada mountains and points east.
    .
    Early-1970s, I was home near Folsom Reservoir about eight miles away.
    A hot-wheel ignited a box-car carrying 250s and 500-pounders from the depot at Susanville to Travis AFB.
    A week-and-a-half of explosions in the Southern Pacific yard in Roseville.
    Homes blown off their foundations a mile away.
    .
    Decades later, crews are still discovering bombs buried thirty-foot deep under the tracks... blasted down by explosions around them.
    .
    In the olden days, that area was farms and orchards.
    Today, subdivisions as far as the eye can see.
