    Default Train Plowing Through Downed Trees

    The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.

    A NS train with a load of shipping containers hit a big oak tree near our range back in the spring after the "Easter storm". Derailed all three locomotives and a bunch of cars right behind Columbia International University. I have pics somewhere. Thankfully nobody was hurt.

    That's nuts! Trains are crazy powerful but they're also kinda scary. It seems so easy for them to jump the track. But I'm not an engineer so what do I know....
