    Imagine if some gas hauler was dropping a load at that gas station!

    I guess the crack TTR team got this figured out. Did you know, every 1.5 hours, there's a train collision or derailment in the US? I bet that was kind of fun for the engineer,,,

    Would've been crazier if the train that smacked the truck was also carrying blades as well. Just a weird thought. Those blade trains are quite impressive though.

    I hope the driver is ok but I hate those things. Glad one of them is out of commission. They ruin the landscape, are very ineffective and expensive.. So ugly.
     
    Bud A. and God prefers Diesels Thank this.

    I especially like how they post up about 200 of them, and only three of them are turning at any given time.

    They're subsidized and they're extremely expensive.. I hate how Texas is full of them.. Iowa.. I expect it in CA but those States? Come on, it's so sad..

    On demand power. They kick in when needed. Power can’t be stored. Well it can, but not on the normal grid for the most part. When you flip a light switch in your house the electricity is literally seconds old
