Great job watering the trees!
Boy, if those tank cars blow up, the whole world is in trouble!

The location of the phire: https://www.google.com/maps/place/SW+Langer+Dr+%26+SW+Langer+Farms+Pkwy,+Sherwood,+OR+97140/@45.3669225,-122.8277916,17z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x54956ce19ec4bdf9:0x8d6ce0775339156a

It's probably 100 miles away. But the P&W interchanges with UP, BNSF, A&E, and one more shortie. No idea what they originate though. P&W is owned by that Gennessee outfit.

Shades of Neoga. Shut down the Clover Leaf forever, which led to conspiracy theories forever.

Uh, never mind, indeed. It wasn't Neoga, it was Mode, IL, that finalized the Clover Leaf as a through route.

Snippy, that new tattoo is really HAWT.  I'll bet you're really the envy of your terminal.
