A little of this, a little of that (and some cross posting)...
Bland attempt at product photography.
Healthy road Cottonmouth...
Always pass by the yard...
While down there I see some smoke at the far end of the yard and go to investigate. Grass fire right next to the tracks, which a string of cars is sitting on...a few of which are tankers. Not sure if full or empty, or what kind of product they were carrying. Regardless, not good. I head back to the hump of the yard to look for a UP worker, but don't see any. I head back and see two guys from a business on the other side of the line trying to put the fire out. I was about to ask if they needed help when a fire engine pulled up on the other side of the tracks, the road was blocked by the train. I knew they would would make it to the other side in less than 5 minutes, but somehow these two guys got it under control. Potentially very bad situation, even if the flames couldn't have reached the tracks.
