IT WORKS GREAT, EXCEPT FOR GOING ONLY TWO MILES PER HOUR AND STOPPING EVERY 50 FEET TO POOP

Question: "Trials?"

Comments

"The answer to pollution is not to use the ground up remains of tortured animals for fuel," PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich told Fast Company.

I wasn't so sure before, but when you put it that way, this was a quarter million well-spent.

[Theresa]

Eco-friendly and discounted fares is a plus.

[Steve]

Just what Americans need; the urge to go to McDonalds whenever a train passes.

[Siouxie]

Moo moo choo choo??

[Ralph]

Insert "fresh ground black people" joke here_________.

**Climbs into handbasket**

[trustf8]

'Can't cha hear the whistle bloooowin': Moooooooooooooooo

[Guin]

McDonald's must be behind this somehow.

[NotSherly]

The exhaust fumes make you need french fries.

[Wes S.]

Your tax dollars at work.

[Loudmouth]

Can these dimwits get any stupider? What happens when the engines clog up with cholesterol and everything just stops.

I smell the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't had a T-bone,
Since, I don't know when,
I'm stuck in some ol' prison,
With food no man can bear,
But that smell keeps a-waftin',
Bet it was medium rare.

When I was just a baby,
My Mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever steal no buns,"
But I shot a man in Wendy's,
His burger caught my eye,
Now, when I smell that diesel chuggin',
I pang for steak and fries.

Loudmouth, then they do a angio-moo-plasty. I thought is was a train pulled by a couple of cows. This makes a lot more sense.

[trustf8]

Prime Cut, Meanie! I'd title that one 'Cash Cow'

[Surly Ugest]

Amtrak's new spokes-beings will be chickens toting train travel signs. I see a big legal battle looming with Chik-Fil-A.

[NotSherly]

When Meanie sings the Blues, I hear Sam Barry on harmonica accompaniment.

[Braniff]

Gives new meaning to "riding in a cattle car".

[bonmot]

And if the railroad gets you there late -- suet!

[queensbee]

great comment meanie. you nailed it.
pass the ketchup.

but it wont help amtrak be on time.

[Meanie the Blue]

I am taking Amtrak this afternoon, it so happens. We'll see.....

[Henry]

I would have thought that the risk of explosion would be the first thing on your mind.

[MOTW]

I don't see the advantage to burning rendered fat over petroleum. Cost? Reduced emissions?

Why not use the methane produced by live cows?
