Look for a lot of the blame game to start.

------------------------------------------------------- > could be Hulcher and/or RJ Corman ... not sure if > they're on scene yet Thanks - I see now that local news is saying the clean-up company is from Texas, so, I'm guessing Hulcher. There's also mention of a float crane coming down from New York harbor. Date: 11/30/12 12:46 Re: On the ground (in the water) in Paulsboro, NJ Author: icancmp193 If you want to have a few pathetic chuckles, go to MSNBC and read some of the comments posted by readers....things like, "the conductor was texting, because I've read that's happened before..." and other brainy opinions.

This is in fact a Conrail line and Conrail does still exist in Detroit and New Jersey. http://www.conrail.com Posted from Android Date: 11/30/12 13:16 Re: On the ground (in the water) in Paulsboro, NJ Author: BCutter Remember that today's 10-second sound-bite media moguls go for speed, not accuracy! S/he who reports firstest gets the most attention -- corrections might be done later (if done at all) at 11 PM after everyone is asleep!

It was meant with a bit of humor. Something I see you do not have. Chill Out.

Furthermore, humor is not always easy to detect on the Internet, especially if it can be misconstrued as sarcasm. Date: 11/30/12 13:31 Re: On the ground (in the water) in Paulsboro, NJ Author: Out_Of_Service toledopatch Wrote:
