Oregon and Washington *ping* please!
Muslim population of Chehalis, Wash?
Bufffett is likely on the hot line to the White House even now, whining about how "we had a deal, Barack!"
They are very careful not to explain what “tampering” means.
Scrap hunters just doesn’t make sense. It would take too long to rip up track and it would probably require arc cutting because the rails are in long sections. Too long for a vehicle to hull away without cutting. Plus need I mention the weight?
A couple of guesses. Starting with the most obvious, the Union Goons working just up the Freeway. Second guess would be the Leftist Freaks from Evergreen State College, one of the most radically left campuses in the country again located just up I-5 in Olympia. And the third, would me Islamic Radicals.
Wow, 10 large for a reward?
How does that work?
I just looked on a very large industrial catalog site that I use almost every day for my work, and they still list and sell a railcar derailer for $539.18 that just slips on the track. They sell them for businesses that have rail service into their plants, and is made to derail a car rather than have it come through into the building accidentally.
Granted the thing has a big sign attached to it, but all someone has to do is buy one, cut the sign off, paint it black and set it somewhere like a switch point where it would easily go unnoticed until there was no time for the engineer to stop the train.
Hell just the picture alone of how easy it would be to make one of these should be taken down, much less the sale of it.
