Wouldn’t it be something if oil became so expensive that coal-fired steam engines became the cheapest way to pull a train.

I kind of like the fact that, whatever these jerks try to do, that stuff is still in the ground, ready to fuel America. They just want everyone working for them. Enough suffering might wake American’s up.

Right out of Atlas Shrugged.

How much farther will Biden's poll numbers have to fall for him to announce resumption of Keystone?

HA!!!

I heard that on the radio yesterday. I didnt catch the whole discussion but I thought they said word was that UP is considering putting its big steam engines back into service for hauling commercial in a limited way.

Both the 4014 and the Challenger can handle a full string of freight cars by themselves.

They both are converted to thick fuel-so they could use waste oil if done right.
