re: #94 klys (maker of Silmarils)
Looking at some of the images from the derailment. Just shit. I did my undergrad in MD and my folks are from NJ, so I took the train home and back for breaks and stuff. And generally going home was a later-at-night deal. A train that late if not later.
Just shit.
I always found the train whistles relaxing when we moved here, but now with all these rail disasters lately, I’m getting nervous about living ~1/2 a block from a railroad track. At least it’s all freight here—they divert the passenger trains to the Transit Center 4 or 5 blocks over.
