Reminds me of the time in rural S. Korea 1966 one of those “Honey” dippers with a home built “truck” that was actually a self propelled tiller connected to a small wagon with a barrel for the “Honey” (Human poop) tried to out run the commuter train, and lost the race right outside the fence next to our Quonset hut at the 55th MPC across the tracks from Red Cloud. Stunk like HELL for a couple of weeks.

EPIC?
Epic stench, apparently.
Ship it back to Noo Yawk.

There are 4 mini-mountains that were grown with garbage from NYC and Philly over the last 30+years.
There is one of those outside of Detroit. They put a ski lift on it and it's now called Mount Trashmore.

I love a story with a happy ending.

You won’t be getting any competition on that contract from me! ;-)

I read the other day that an escalator was stuck at a Bart Station in San Fransico because of poop stuck in it.
Google poop map San Fransico and you will get streets to avoid the poop.
A true Sh@thole.

I posted a story a week or so back about how a real Frisco native knows - by smell - human waste on the sidewalk verses animal feces.
Ain’t diversity wonderful?

Why don’t New Yorkers keep their poo in their own towers?

I bet its gone anaerobic and is cooking in those containers. They should probably check for methane. Just open a lid at the top and look inside with a match for light, right? /s
Can you imagine one of those rail cars exploding?

Of course I don't. My point was that first world cities in Asia (Tokyo, Singapore, Osaka) do not smell anything like cities of similar size elsewhere (Manila, Shanghai and, yes, even Philadelphia) and have far more sophisticated ways to deal with their excess poop than loading it on trains and sending it to the countryside.
Regular trash and poop require entirely different methods of handling. I know that Japan uses regular trash to compact and build off-shore islands. Tokyo has a number which may be green areas, parkland and the like before it turns into light development. Kobe, Nagano and other cities have trash incinerators which produce electrical power and year round water parks. Sewage is processed into fertilizer pellets through a sophisticated drying and concentrating process which produces minimal odor.
All the foregoing methods cost more than simply dumping it on the country bumpkins.

I bet those rail cars are really filled with LIB DIM voters.

If the biosolids haven’t been stabilized appropriately, it could be a real concern...an Epic train reaction.

Slap some posters on the cars saying “Visit Wonderful San Francisco”...
