I saw this scroll across my newsfeed, and it's a miracle that there wasn't a T LRV on the tracks.  I was going to share the article from the Pittsburgh Tribune, but they referred to the containers as boxcars  :facepalm:

It is mind boggling just how clueless news reporters are.  But then OTOH whether it was a container or a boxcar makes no difference to some Joe-schmoe reading the story.  :|

And THIS is why I narrowly missed getting nabbed by the state constabulary while trying to chase, of all things, an eastbound stack train.
