Sorry I meant the old stuff, not the idiot from 2024 derailing trains.
Bullshit. Why on Earth would BNSF do that? They want to make money, not send some random teenager in Nebraska to jail
Sorry this is a mix of old and new. They did it a few times back in the day with steam locomotives on purpose.
The new stuff was an idiot risking lives of others.
What was the new one about?
See his comment here with a link. Crazy stuff.
I thought that was the old one.
No, that was in the 19th(?) century. See links in this comment here.
Oh, steam as in steam engines. I thought they were referring to the service called Steam.
Darn, Thomas had it hard.
