Lawless, thank you so very much for sharing photo 12593.

I have the privilege of knowing both of the gentlemen on the very left of the photo. Both absolutely amazing men, humble, gentle, incredible souls. Both tougher than any man has the right to be.....and man, can they shoot!

They're very active in the Force Recon Foundation.

If you have a chance, take a gander at this documentary that describes their incredible story.

I posted about the 5.1 we had days ago about 20 miles from our farm, there have been multiple quakes over last couple of weeks all around same area. I was there for the one last Saturday. In the rural mountains we don’t have sharks, riots, hurricanes or Starbucks but we do get quakes....

Looks more like the train was trying to do a burnout.

Not seeing what's behind the shot, it's more than like the worst heat kink I've ever seen. Stick rail, which is sections of rail at 39 ft lengths can be laid to allow for the expansion of the rail due to heat a little at a time. Continuous Welded Rail (which is what that looks like) is rail that is factory welded rail that can be a mile or more is set to have expansion joints ever so often (determined by an engineer). This looks like NEW rail which took the heat before those expansion joints could be cut (over miles of railroad). Somehow it finds a weak spot in the bed of the track and starts to deviate. Causing a kink. A kink of about 2-3 ft is usually extreme. This is rail that has ran 5-10 feet. Those Track Department employees are in a lot of danger (they know it). because once that rail is cut through, that rail will dance like a belly dancer. It can go anywhere. I wouldn't want to be on that chop saw.
