I kind of glow in the dark now, too.

At last, a prototype photo of the elusive track cleaning car. Modelers will rejoice.

Good news! Now no worries about parenthood either! If you do succeed you can have a two headed love child.

Not a stupid question, I bet these are never ever allowed in th republic of California (just kidding). It's for moving spent nuclear fuel rods. Though they're spent they are plenty warm...if you look close you can see the nuke warning symbol.

ROTFLOL ...you made my night with that one!

Thanks,
Don

Mojo is the man!

As far as I know, these are used to transport spent fuel rods from Submarines based at Bangor Navel Station in Washington State. It was empty when I saw it.

When parked over a switch, it clears ice and snow as well.

the car dosen,t look properly haz mat marked and isn,t accompanied as it supposed to be by fed regulations if you are correct

It's probably empty. I think that they usually ship as their own short train, with all DOD/DOE cars when loaded.

C'mon, folks...the car is CLEARLY placarded 'Do not hump'.

They ship Radio Active Waste in those cars from the East coast and they come down the KP Line right past my place. Seen them many a time. Biggest train I seen of them was 3 of these cars and 3 of the casks sitting in a depressed center flatcar with a switch in a gon. car and another load that was tarped and a caboose on the rear. upkpfan
