No live animals dude, give up.

@rgerhardtembarq Were you there? No. Did you know what the train is? No. Do you know the cargo being handled? No. Did you have the BNSF computer telling you that this train contained "L" live cargo? No.

[rgerhardtembarq]

@Andrewsaxamophone Acually this isn't BNSF. It's Norfolk Southern. And the train is on the Norfolk and Southern Line. Lastly, you can't have a radio transmiter telling you what the train is carrying.

@rgerhardtembarq You are so fucking dumb... lol. Just beacuse the power came from the NS doesn't mean it is an NS train. If this had an NS crew it would be labeled with the NS symbol plus the letter "F" for foreign or foreign crew. This is the BNSF Chicago Sub, I should know since I bike here all the time and since it is the BNSF Chicago Sub. I never said anything about a radio transmitter, I said the online database. Back when everyone had ODIS I saw this J CHCCEW1 24L, the L for LIVE ANIMALS!

@Andrewsaxamophone I still don't bieleve you but one other thing....get a new camera!

[Andrewsaxamophone]

@rgerhardtembarq Uhm.. Look on a map, accept it for what it is, and I did..

@Andrewsaxamophone AC units are used to keep the interior of the car maintained at a specific temperature. That does not mean that the "cargo" is live by any stretch of the imagination. I handle AC units all the time. Thousands a year. I have never moved a live animal in any of those moves.

Seriously, they were NOT carrying live animals - those cars are used to carry rocket booster motors and they do need to be kept cool. The caboose at the rear has an armed team that will use deadly force if needed to protect the train. Go look the cars up at any railfan site. It's a really neat catch nontheless.

[Andrewsaxamophone]

They definitely were carrying live animals, as the cars had AC units and a power hub on the sides of the cars.

[rmg999]

Those cars are definitely NOT carrying live animals. They are carrying military equipment of some sort - sensitive enough to require the protection team in the caboose.
