Rail roads and their tracks.

oooops...

I’d say they had some scouring and lost several piers.

 

[Hay Dude]

That’s gonna cost a few bucks to fix.

I rode METRA every day, from the south suburbs to work in downtown Chicago, which paralleled the IC/CN tracks. 30 years. Some of the tagging on the freight cars was/is real art. I was often amazed.

I'd really like to save some $$$$ and make this crossing lower and with a less costly bridge.* What do you think?

*this is a refrence to all the guys who are building there own bridges on TBN.

Just think how many cans of paint that took, and how much overspray got on any autos inside that rail car.

But man, I've seen som great graffiti over the years.

I was under the impression that automakers bagged new cars prior to loading.

 

[spitter]

If they bagged them, they wouldn't have so much rail dust on them. At least that's their excuse for the rust particles on new cars after you get them.

Rail dust on cars? That’s what introduced me to a clay bar. My 2010 Dodge Challenger was still pretty rough after waxing it when I first got it. That’s when I first read about rail dust, the fine metal particles from the train wheels and rails.
