How come nobody shits their pants when a 6850 ft (yes that's way over a mile) 17000+ ton train comes rumbling through town with 13000+ HP and God only knows how much torque is running it? Who gives a shit about a big semi. You want to see real tonnage and footage, better step up to the big leagues son
THey come through town more often then you think, like a few times a day..... -

Miss that train, wait 10 minutes, you can see another one.
A semi that large only 'comes through these parts' every few years.

Probably because we don't drive our cars on train tracks.....If I saw a 17000+ ton train flying down the freeway, then I would pay attention. -
