It was definitely hauling some serious speed coming to Russell. From what I saw on the placard, and a reference to my ERG, the trains contain alcohol...

I'm a horrible night photographer...

Other wise it would be moonshine and there would be some product missing at its destination. Posted from Android Date: 04/05/13 16:45 Re: CSX K420-03 Author: SlwApprSlw farmer Wrote:

The reason gasoline is added to make the ethanol inedible for tax purposes. Producers won't pay a higher tax rate if the ethanol is unconsumable.
