    I agree. And the money could be used to get homes for all the homeless in the region.

    An AZ dry wash maybe?....wait a minute....dry means no water.....till it flashes down the wash and takes out the home! And where do you folks in Phoenix and the AZ desert get your water....oh yes...piped in from Lake Mead....record low levels for over two decades now.....seems it isn't just CA!

    No. But we've given hand outs and perks to people that do nothing for nar 200 years, why shouldn't they get some too? California leads the way you know.

    Obviously a Texan grappling in a farm pond in MS. Nice size.

    No, we have wells and aquifers. Some pretty darn big ones too. I have a well at the new house. Believe me, we all pray to God everyday no more people that have destroyed the west coast come here.

    But as long as you brought it up, and you are concerned about The Colorado River, I agree the pumping stations that rape The River to take the water to California should be turned off.

    You are wasting your life driving truck.
    Get on the stick and start writing Instruction and assembly manuals.

    The link didnt work for me, yet I found it on youtube

    That form of derailment is actually very common. It is what happens when there is a heavier part of the train to the rear. The rear of the train doesnt want to move and the locomotive will pull the train straight. The lighter cars in the middle tend to roll over as the flanges on the wheels hold the cars to the rails.

    I have seen it done on Live Steam. The club Los Angeles Live Steamers has had a couple of times where it has happened. Now LALS requires any engineer that wishes to pull public to only pull straddle type cars. Straddle cars allow the public to easily put their feet out if the car starts to roll.

    Nothing there but Salt.
    To much Salt.
    It’s not healthy.
