    I think that it has been posted before, but always worth a second look.

    But...............

    Horror of horrors, where are the crossing barriers, miles of lineside fences to keep the public at a safe distance and the army of hi vis jackets.....:shocked:

    What is more worrying is those who come on hear and state that the nanny state is fully justified and brand those who question it as "lacking the mental compass" to understand what's involved. Poppycock!

    You just use your common sense when out near the tracks in this part of the world - and don t trespass -- be aware that you don t get too close to the train - could have loose or insecure loads -- aways assume it does ....

    Sadly, the Challanger 3985 has not been out since Oct/Nov of 2010. I understand that the Folks in Cheyenne are having a tough time w/her currently.
