HAHAHAHHAA! Ain't that the truth!!

Total mayhem over there. How the hell do they live there .....

What the hell do they do with all the tax dollars that flow into Beacon Hill I wonder?

Not spending it on We The People, that's for sure ...

Well since Obama keeps blocking the Keystone XL pipeline, they are carrying oil.

My wife took this pic of this one just south of us in Eldred, PA sitting on the side track.
i'd like to see that plow hit the rails around here with some of the snow we've received.

On average three trains per day (~100 tankers each) cross the border in my area and go South.

Probably oil. We counted the black tankers on one train going behind our house -- I don't remember the number, but I do remember calculating it at about 3 milliion gallons, on its way to an Irving refinery in New Brunswick. That was before the destruction of Lac Megantic in Quebec. Now the oil must be going by another route because we rarely see more than a few tank cars, and they generally come in groups of eight or ten, separated by box cars or lumber cars, then another group of tankers, and so on.
